Waterfall Safety and Common Sense

Little Millstream Falls seemed to us to be a convergence of a handful of cascading waterfalls. I noticed at least a trio of segmented cascades during our visit in May 2008. I’m sure depending on the waterflow, I could have seen more waterfalls during the Wet Season and fewer during the Dry Season. In any case, I took a track that gently descended towards the large plunge pool at the base of the waterfalls while affording us contextual views of the falling waters. When I reached the bottom of the track, the terrain got a bit muddier and rougher, and I didn’t quite make it all the way to the waterfalls themselves. There was some foliage that had hairs on them, and I didn’t want to guess wrong about them being the neurotoxic stinging plants. Nonetheless, there did appear to be access to the plunge pool, which I’d imagine would be a good place for a swim to cool off from the tropical heat.

Unlike the more famous and developed Millstream Falls, there was a noticeable lack of development at this waterfall. Thus, it wasn’t surprising to me that I was the only one at the falls during my brief visit. And I’d imagine that given such relative obscurity, there was probably a higher likelihood of seeing platypus even though that wasn’t the case on my visit.

Overall, I spent about 20 minutes away from the car, but that included a fair bit of trail running to keep Julie from waiting for me for too long. I didn’t linger around other than to take photos, but I very well could have spent more time to bask in the relative solitude as well as a refreshing swim.
