With a population of 202 residents recorded in the 2021 census and covering around 14 square kilometres, Conway is a small but picturesque community nestled between rainforest-clad ranges and tidal waterways leading to the Coral Sea. Its location at the southern gateway to the Whitsunday Islands makes it a uniquely attractive address for nature lovers.
The locality is flanked by Conway National Park, which offers hiking trails, rich birdlife, and views across the Whitsunday Passage. Residents enjoy an enviable coastal-hinterland lifestyle with the beach, boating, and water sports easily accessible, while Airlie Beach — the main service hub — is roughly 30 km to the north. Conway suits those seeking tranquility in a tropical setting, with excellent fishing along Repulse Bay and access to some of Australia's most iconic island scenery.
