Millaa Millaa Falls
Millaa Millaa Falls is the most beautiful and iconic waterfall of the waterfall-laden Atherton Tablelands region. What the falls has going for it, is a lush rainforest setting fringed with broad ferns, colourful flowers and a plunge pool suitable for swimming. Even though the size of the falls is modest, at 18.3m, it possessed a photo-friendly classical rectangular shape, which complements the idyllic scenery well.

Mount Baldy and Yabi Mountain
Nice 3hr walk with two summits and views back over Atherton and the tablelands.
If you're looking for something longer then the 3km circuits but shorter then the multi-day hikes!
Very well maintained track, well signed with options of doing this full circuit or just one summit.
Range of plant life from bush to tropics, we saw hundreds of birds including lots of cockatoos.
Walk is dog friendly.

Musgravea Track
This track is a multi-use track for walkers and mountain-bike riders. It is the only track in Djiru National Park where bicycles are permitted.
This mainly flat track is suitable for dry weather access and requires a medium level of fitness. It follows an old forestry road used in the 1960s and 1970s to haul timber from South Mission Beach to the El Arish timber mill. The track heads north from the car park at the Licuala day-use area and exits on to the El Arish–Mission Beach road about 2 km east of the Lacey Creek day-use area. For safety reasons, the old vehicle bridges have been removed and detours to the two creek crossings have been marked for walkers and cyclists. Bicycles will have to be carried down several steps, through the creek and up several steps at each creek crossing. Creeks in this area are subject to flash flooding and caution should be exercised.
