About Souita Falls
Souita Falls was another one of the more obscure waterfalls in the Atherton Tablelands area. This was probably due to the fact that it was situated in a quieter part of the Atherton Tablelands near the hamlet of Middlebrook, which was really more of an agricultural area than a town. Julie and I happened to kill time going to this waterfall in between visits to the nearby Millaa Millaa Falls as we were waiting for the right time of day to go back there for better photos. Given the relative obscurity of this waterfall, we were told that platypus could be found amidst the watercourse giving rise to the waterfalls. However, that wasn’t the case during our visit.
In any case, when Julie and I arrived at Souita Falls, we quickly learned that this was actually a pair of small waterfalls within close proximity of each other. Both waterfalls were easily reachable from the same walking track. Julie and I spent about 25 minutes away from the car despite there being two waterfalls.
We were able to reach the first waterfall within about 150m of walking. There was an overlook platform letting us see a bit of the falls from its top. However, most of its drop was hidden from us as the creek dropped into the shadowy depths of the mini-ravine away from our line-of-sight from the lookout. From what we could tell, there was no safe way of getting a better look at it. Next, we continued another 70m on the short walking track towards the second waterfall. We were able to get sideways views of it through some overgrowth. We never really got a totally clean look given the overgrowth, but we still thought this section was the more scenic of the two drops.
Finally, there seemed to be a little bit of confusion between this waterfall and Pepina Falls. That was because we found a sign at Millaa Millaa Falls that had the two waterfalls mixed up. As you can see from the signage shown in some of the photos on this page, we’re pretty sure we have correctly identified both waterfalls.
