Queensland (QLD) waterfalls runs the gamut of the variety that the country has to offer. Indeed, the state is home to the tallest waterfall (Wallaman Falls), the widest single-drop waterfall (Millstream Falls), and even a waterfall that featured as the tribal council on the second season of the show "Survivor" in Blencoe Falls. There's also a waterfalls circuit in the Atherton Tablelands where you could visit nearly a dozen in a couple of days including the famous Millaa Millaa Falls! Couple this with the state's diversity of attractions and activities - from the Great Barrier Reef to the Whitsunday Islands to the Daintree Rainforest to even Surfer's Paradise - and it's no wonder this tropical "sunshine state" is where many Australians go for holidaymaking. While the sun brings the people, it's the monsoons of the Summer that keep most of the state's eastern coast green, the sugar canes growing, and the waterfalls pumping. In addition to the falls mentioned above, there are also unusual ones like the Natural Bridge towards the southern end of the state, the multi-tiered Jourama Falls, and those altered by hydroelectricity like Barron Falls. Indeed, there's much to explore in this dynamic state, and even though we think we saw most of the waterfalls in the state, there are still plenty more we didn't get to see in the jungles of Far North Queensland as well as those in the Outbacks of the far western parts of the state.
