Morans Falls

The 80-meter tall Morans Falls creates a vertical drop into a deep pool, surrounded by subtropical rainforest within the Gondwana Rainforests region.

The location marks the area where the O'Reilly brothers established their first mountain residence, constructing a bark hut near the waterfall in early settlement times.

The waterfall and its surroundings hold traditional significance for Indigenous Australian communities who maintained connections with this natural landscape for generations.

A 4.4-kilometer return track leads visitors through the rainforest to multiple viewing platforms, requiring approximately 1.5 hours to complete the journey.

The falls produce different sound experiences throughout the year, from powerful cascades during wet seasons to gentle flows in dry periods.
