Shute Harbour - Places to See

Things to see:

Conway Range National Park
Undoubtedly the greatest attraction in the area is the Conway Range National Park which covers over 19 000 hectares and is the largest coastal national park in Queensland. It has a number of excellent walking paths. There is a short 1 km walk which starts at the camping ground and passes through rainforest. It is ideal for bird watchers particularly at dawn and dusk. Another 2 km walk (more strenuous) climbs Mount Rooper and offers excellent views of the whole area from Mount Rooper Lookout while there is a 2 km walk known as the Swamp Bay Track which leads down to the coral beach at Swamp Bay. Detailed maps and information on all these walks can be obtained from the National Parks Office 1317468 or check out: http://www.derm.qld.gov.au/parks/conway/index.html
