Wom-poo' is the sound made by the beautifully coloured Wompoo fruit-dove, so listen and see if you can spot one. The Conway National Park covers 225-kilometres of lowland tropical rainforest and a number of walking trails on the Conway Circuit have been created. Follow an old logging road 2.4-kilometres through tall, lush rainforest. Turn left to reach a calm creek lined with Alexandra palms. This 7-kilometre return walk has a few steep sections, shallow creek crossings after rain, plentiful wildlife and will take you about four-hours to complete.

Let someone know before you go

It’s a good idea to let someone know where you’re going. Fill in a trip intention form to send important details about your trip to your emergency contact. If you are lost or require help and have phone reception, call 000 and ask for police. The international standard emergency number is 112, if you dial this number in Australia you will be treated exactly the same as a 000 call. If you believe your life is at risk, activate your personal locator beacon (PLB), then make your position visible to rescue teams and keep warm and dry.
