Conway State Forest

The Conway State Forest offers a refuge for wildlife, including 20 rainforest plant species found only in this region. The buff-breasted paradise-kingfisher migrates from Papua New Guinea to breed here.

Discover the forest's secrets on a short or long walk. Three walks begin from the carpark, ranging from the two kilometrem Kingfisher circuit to the 30 kilometre, three-day Whitsunday Great Walk (which is closed during February and March).

Look for brilliant blue Ulysses butterflies and old snigging tracks used for carting timber in logging days. Tracks may be closed in wet weather; check conditions before setting out.
