Overview

Zillie Falls is a majestic 15-meter plunge waterfall nestled in the Atherton Tablelands of Queensland, Australia. Part of the renowned Waterfall Circuit, along with Millaa Millaa Falls and Ellinjaa Falls, Zillie Falls offers visitors a quick and rewarding stop amidst a lush rainforest setting.The falls can be admired from a viewing platform a short walk from the car park, providing an elevated perspective of the water cascading over basalt rocks. For a closer encounter, adventurous visitors can take an unofficial, steep track down to the base of the falls. The pool at the bottom is rocky and not ideal for swimming, but wading and admiring the powerful cascade are popular activities.Located on Theresa Creek Road, Zillie Falls is easily accessible and well-signposted, making it a convenient addition to any Atherton Tablelands itinerary. The surrounding rainforest teems with life, and keen observers might spot a colony of flying foxes near the car park. The best time to visit is during the wet season (December to March) when the waterfall is at its fullest.
