Saturday 14th we decided to see all of the following places and travel as far south as Millaa Millaa to see the Waterfalls Circuit.
Firstly we visited Lake Barrine - a crater lake formed millions of years ago from volcanic activity. Picturesque and serene so we decided to walk the five kilometre track around it. Firstly stopping at the twin kauri trees thought to be over 1,000 years old. I felt it was more than 5 klms - more like 7-8!!!! We saw plenty of wild life but not able to get pictures of them as they scurried away before one could focus in. The only one is this snake which stopped us in our tracks along the path.
 |
| This Lake is privately owned and has a tea house, boat tours and accommodation |
 |
| Not sure what kind of snake but it was long so let it move on it's way before we ventured past it!!!!! |
After that walk we travelled on to Lake Eacham, another crater lake which is now a beautiful place to relax and regenerate over a picnic lunch amongst the shaded tropical rainforest trees. Plenty of folk enjoying the day beside and in the lake today.
 |
| The water is so clear one can see the fish and turtles amongst the logs. |
After strolling the shore from the upper picnic area to the lower one and back we headed south through Malanda after having to turn off the highway after a motor accident closed the road.
 |
| Malanda - known for its dairy products and Nerada tea plantation. |
Millaa Millaa Falls started our journey around the Waterfall Circuit encompassing Millaa Millaa Falls, Zillie and Elinjaa Falls. Plenty of folk enjoying the Millaa Millaa Falls today.
 |
These Waterfalls are Queensland Heritage listed.

Not too much water cascading but the rain is coming so I bet they would all look different after a week.
