Ellinjaa Falls is on the compact 17 km Waterfall Circuit that includes Millaa Millaa Waterfall and Zillie Falls located on the Atherton Tablelands south east of Cairns, Australia. It makes up part of the larger 197 km Misty Mountains Loop that encompasses the entire Wooroonooran National Park and takes in over a dozen stunning swimming holes, waterfalls, lookouts and hikes.

All photographers have been credited with their Instagram names.

A 20 minute downhill path from the car park leads you to the lagoon at the base of Ellinjaa Falls. If you need cooling off, what better place to do it?

Boyd’s Forest Dragons are a beautiful sight in the rainforests of North Queensland and grow up to 90 cm (3 feet) in length. You will often find them resting at the edge of lakes and rivers. Males have bolder coloration than females.
