Conway National Park

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 or for more experienced bushwalkers, the newly completed Great Walk which takes approximately 3 days.There are sign posts at the start of the walks, although you can also get information from the Queensland Park and Wildlife Service which is located across the road from Airlie Cove Resort and Van Park.
