Your Ultimate Guide to Proserpine

1st August 2023

Proserpine in a nutshell

Found in the Whitsunday Region of Queensland, Proserpine is a small town of approximately 3,500 people. Named by the explorer George Dalrymple – after Persephone the Greek goddess of fertility – the town is recognised for its the fertile qualities and stunning green landscapes. Located near some of the most incredible scenery in the world, the town offers easy access to sites and attractions such as the Whitsunday Islands, Hamilton Island, Airlie Beach, Conway National Park, Lake Proserpine and lots of other areas of natural beauty. There are countless things to do in Proserpine and the surrounding landscapes. In fact, the friendly town is the perfect location from which to explore the best of the Whitsunday Region!

Proserpine is located on Gia land, a land known for its wonderful diversity and tropical flora and fauna. The region was once inhabited by the traditional custodians; the Gia people. Whilst very little is known and recorded about these people throughout history, it is estimated that their land extended a whopping 4,100 square kilometres. The first British colonists arrived in the region in the early 1860s, after Proserpine’s establishment by Europeans in 1859. Since then, cattle grazing and sugar cane have contributed greatly to the local economy. Top tip: the eerie glow of cane field fires make a spectacular sight at night from late June onwards.
