Description
Enjoy a different Whitsunday experience and escape to the tropical refuge of the Conway Ranges. Conway National Park contains lowland tropical rainforest remnants and picturesque rocky creeks.
Part of the Whitsunday Great Walk, the Kingfisher Circuit weaves through giant strangler figs and tulip oaks decorated with basket ferns.
... moreAs you relax by seasonal creeks, look for the brilliant blue flashes of Ulysses butterflies and listen for the squeak of grey fantail birds. Walk uphill past bright palm trees and return to the car park on an old logging road.
