More information about the new booking system

Conway National Park has shared trails where walkers and cyclists share the same trail. Please be careful and courteous and follow the shared trails give way code.

  • Cyclists must slow down, give way to and watch for walkers.
  • Cyclists must alert others when approaching.
  • Everyone must slow down and go around wildlife.

The Wompoo way follows an old logging trail to a peaceful creek where you can relax under the shade of Alexandra palms.

Listen for the loud, deep and resonating call of the wompoo fruit-dove…’woom-POO’. Falling fruit from the canopy often gives the location of this bird away.

Be prepared for some steady uphill section on this trail.
