Man dies at Millaa Millaa Falls, a popular swim spot in Queensland
Police will prepare a report for the coroner, and no further details have been released.
A man has died at Millaa Millaa Falls, 100 kilometres south-west of Cairns. Emergency services were called on Monday, and the man's body was recovered about two hours later.
Police have not released any details about the man's death or where he was from. Police say a report will be prepared for the coroner.
The falls are often featured in tourism material and draw many visitors during the dry season. A nearby caravan park operator, Andrew Broadbent, said the area has been 'a lot quieter' in recent weeks.
The falls are widely regarded as one of the safer waterfalls in Far North Queensland. Two men died at the site in July 2024.
Mr Broadbent said the falls are shallow and not dangerous to swim in.
Why it mattersA local operator says hundreds of people swim at the falls, so this death matters to many visitors.
