According to Inspector Jason Smith, the two friends went into the water from the shore. One had trouble swimming, and the other tried to help. Sadly, both lost their lives in the attempt.

A third friend who was present witnessed the tragic events unfold but was unable to provide direct assistance. However, he stayed at the scene and cooperated with authorities during the rescue efforts.

Despite extensive search efforts involving Queensland Police, including helicopters and ambulance teams, the students could not be immediately located.

Millaa Millaa Falls, a popular tourist spot known for its serene swimming conditions, was temporarily closed during the search and has since reopened. This incident has deeply saddened the local community, as such accidents are rare in this typically safe area.

The waterfall area was closed while the search was ongoing but has since reopened.
