The Conway National Park covers 22,500ha of land between Mackay
and Bowen. It incorporates 35kms of coastline and covers a
large peninsula, which is made up of the Conway Range. The
National Park surrounds the Whitsunday Passage, and offers
great views out across the Whitsundays.
There is a diverse range of plantlife within the park, including
open forest, mangrove canopy and tropical lowland rainforest.
Many ferns and orchids can be found within the National Park
as well as a wide range of animals. A common sight during
the night are the adorable Proserpine Rock Wallabies.
There are a wide range of walking trails throughout the
Conway National Park, which offer you the chance to experience
the diverse landscape. Many of these start from around Airlie
Beach and Shute Harbour. There are sign posts at the start
of the walks, although you can also get information about
the nearby Marine and National Parks from the Whitsunday Information
Centre at Airlie Beach.
