Mount Whitfield Conservation Park

Unplug, Move, and Reconnect

Looking for a way to inspire active bodies and disconnect from screens? Just minutes from Cairns, Mount Whitfield Conservation Park invites you to step into a rainforest escape and reconnect with nature. With trails suited to all fitness levels, this is the perfect place to stretch your legs, breathe fresh air, and spark a love for the outdoors.

The Red Arrow, Blue Arrow, Green Arrow, and Yellow Arrow tracks wind through shady rainforest gullies, open forests, and grassy trails, leading to the breathtaking Lumley Hill summit. Whether you’re tackling the short Red Arrow loop or conquering the longer Blue Arrow challenge, the scenic views of Cairns and the coastline will leave you inspired and energized.

Trade screen time for wildlife spotting! Encounter brush-turkeys, scrubfowls, and the occasional paradise-kingfisher. Listen for the call of noisy pittas in the rainforest or watch wallabies and pademelons dart through the undergrowth. It’s an adventure for the senses and a natural motivator to keep moving.

So lace up your walking shoes, leave the screens behind, and embrace the joy of exploring this lush tropical retreat. Whether for fitness, family bonding, or pure escapism, Mount Whitfield is where movement meets mindfulness. 🦘✨
