Did this one with the family. A bit long for the little one but nice a outlook over the waterfall at the end.

Just joined the forum - great stuff here. It is a decade or more since I last visited the O'Reilly's end of the Lamington NP. As a kid and through to young adulthood I spent a lot of time at Lamington; the Morans Falls & Castle Crag walks were always my favourite short walks. Unfortunately, I have only managed 2 or 3 visits in the last 25-odd years. I will be back in Australia at Christmas with my kids and am hoping to spend a day up there, so Moran's Falls will be an ideal family walk. Does anyone know if the walk to the bottom of the falls has been re-opened? I have no idea when (or why) it was closed but I was surprised to find it closed on a visit in the late 1990's. I hope it is open again, as the swimming hole at the bottom of the falls was fabulous.

Great walk through a beautiful forest. Nice and cool. Kids loved it. Beautiful waterfall and views at the end.

The sunset was incredible!! One of the best views i've seen from atop a waterfall.

Really easy walk with fairly decent views from both sides. Perfect if you are staying in the O'Reilly's area or to tack onto another walk.

This one was so great I had to have a second visit :-)

Nice and east stroll through the forest to some stunning views from the lookout. Make sure you pop down to the top of the falls for some even better viewing spots. Stumbled upon a dwarf crowned snake, so as always, keep an eye out for wildlife!

Really beautiful track. Fairly easy walk through rainforest down to a lookout over the falls. Follow the track through, over the gorgeously clear freshwater creek, and you come out to a second lookout over the valley. Nice short walk, worth a look.

Incredible viewpoints of such a lovely waterfall with a grand backdrop into the wanderous valley. It was a rather easy walk, even at 33-34 weeks pregnant. We did this walk a little later than we intended (4pm) though but we still did it in time and got back as night fell.

Combined this walk with Castle Crag. Cold and rainy but we waited for a while until the clouds disappeared and we could see the valley below. Great views!

Amazing view of the waterfall. The 2nd lookout (at the end) of the valley was breathtaking.

Awesome Falls, some of the best i've seen. went and stood at the top, almost surreal

Nice walk. Can get a little hot though.

As per Worldwalkers comments, except today I fell in the creek up stream from the falls and had to continue the remaining km's with wet cold feet..

Made an adventure out of this walk. Started with the Python rock track and back then out to Moran falls lookout and over the creek to the western lookout. then up the hill to balancing rock and beyond to the castle rocks. Retuned along the same route and took the old trail along the ridge and acsended to moonlight crag. From here follw the ridge again via an old trail to orchid grotto and Lyrebird lookout. This is where the walk gets really spectacular and a little tricky. Follow the tags through thick forrest for ? Kms. Expect to get lost and have to retrace to find the trail. Eventually ending up on the border track 700m South of the O'reily's guest house. Comes out around 14 or 15K's. I think. Great day.

Ive done this walk a number of times, but now include it as a extended walk by going in via the border track then out to the old loggers camp out to orchid grotto then along the cliff line to moonlight crag and balancing rock then walk back around the road to the track that leads to the top of moran falls, walk out along the creek to reach the top of the falls, then walk back to the track and continue to see the best views of the falls follow the track to complete then walk back to the road, then a short walk back up to the car park

Did Python Rock Lookout followed by Moran's Falls. Nice walk, great views.

Good walk down, stopping at the look out over the falls then crossing over the falls and checking out the view from the other side. Crossed paths with a family on the way back up at the first look out and learned we had left the lights on in the car :P We ended up jogging/running back up but unfortunately the battery died. LOL Really quick way to make it back to the top.
