Whitsunday Coast starts from Mackay
in the south continuing north until Bowen
and the Mt Aberdeen National Park. Off the coast are the
74 Whitsunday Islands,
all offering something slightly different for the visitor. |
Mackay features a number of beaches,
as well as offering trips out to the Great Barrier Reef.
It is a great place to stay, with plenty of attractions
and places of interest nearby. |

a number of small bays and beaches leading upto the Cape
Hillsborough National Park. There are some pretty
beaches within the park backed by beautiful forest, as well
as a number of coastal walks around the area. |

National Park, which offers spectacular views and
some fantastic walking trails. On the way you will pass

sugar plantation, Mirani and Finch Hatton, which is home
to the spectacular Finch
Hatton Gorge. |
Continuing north along the highway you can stop

small rural town, with a large sugar mill. Just south of Proserpine

of the small peninsula is the Conway
National Park, which is also worth visiting. The National
Park is made up of thick rainforest, and home to the magnificent
Cedar Creek Falls. There are a number of good walking trails through
the park, with magnificent views out to the ocean.

Further north along the coast is Bowen,
which has a major fruit growing industry and so is perfect
