Morans Falls, Plunge waterfall in Lamington National Park, Australia

Morans Falls is a vertical waterfall in Lamington National Park where water drops about 80 meters into a deep pool surrounded by subtropical rainforest. The falls are part of the Gondwana Rainforests region, which protects rare plant and animal species.

Morans Falls lies on Morans Creek in the Green Mountains, within Lamington National Park, part of the Shield Volcano Group of the Scenic Rim. The surrounding rainforest is included in the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Gondwana Rainforests of the South East Queensland region. The falls drop about 80 metres and are reached by the 4.4-kilometre return Morans Falls Track.

Morans Falls lies within Lamington National Park, gazetted in 1915 and named after Lord Lamington, Queensland's Governor from 1896 to 1901. The park forms part of the Gondwana Rainforests, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1986 for its rainforests of global importance. The falls and creek carry the name Morans, a local family name recorded in the Green Mountains area.

A walking track of about 4.4 kilometers leads through the rainforest to several viewing platforms and takes roughly 1.5 hours return. The path is well marked, but visitors should be prepared for slippery ground and uneven terrain.

The falls sound completely different depending on the season: a powerful roar during rainy times and a gentle trickle in dry periods. This seasonal change creates entirely different experiences when visiting at different times of year.
