Why visit

When travellers take cheap flights to Proserpine, chances are their final destinations are Airlie Beach and the Whitsunday Islands. A bit of time in this pleasant country town (the administrative centre of the Whitsunday Shire), however, provides a nice change of pace.

Proserpine’s business is sugar and beef. Legend has it that the town received its name from the explorer George Dalyrmple, who was struck by the rich fertile landscapes and called it after Persephone, the Greek goddess of fertility (Proserpine is the Latin name). Today, fields of sugar cane still dominate the countryside and the Proserpine Sugar Mill is a landmark.

There are some charming Art Deco buildings dotted about Main Street, and the Historical Museum and Cultural Hall shine a light on Proserpine’s past. For picnics and playgrounds, Pioneer Park and Mill Street Park are both pleasant spaces.

A little outside Proserpine (19km), Cedar Creek Falls is a beautiful spot for bush walks with a year-round natural swimming pool. Slightly further away, about 30 km, is Conway National Park, which has sumptuous views over the Whitsundays.

Lake Proserpine (also known as Peter Faust Dam) is 26 km inland from Proserpine, a favourite with fishermen who find some of the largest Barramundi and Sooty Grunter in its waters.
