The heritage-listed falls are one of the starring attractions along the tableland's 17km Waterfalls Circuit and is often called the most gorgeous on the trail.

'Point of view: You sold everything, bought a van, started an online business and travel Australia full time on your own. Now you get to play the ukulele and sit near waterfalls at 9am on a Thursday,' she wrote in an Instagram clip of her taking in the scenery from her van.

Kayla added she was 'still processing' how 'mind blowing' the view was and it made her 'speechless'.

One visitor said online Millaa Millaa was the 'most Instagrammable' location while another said it was a 'magnificent site' despite rain and fog and the water being very cold at this time of year.

'The limited visibility added a touch of mystique, creating a unique and memorable visit. Don't miss this majestic natural wonder, even in less ideal weather conditions,' they said.
