Proserpine
Take a look at Proserpine, where old-fashioned courtesies thrive. Be sure to have a yarn with the friendly locals!
Just 20 minutes inland from Airlie Beach, you will find the charming town of Proserpine, the Heart of Country Hospitality.
Named by the explorer George Dalrymple, after Proserpina the goddess of grain and harvest, recognising the fertile qualities in the region. Since the late 1800s, cattle grazing and sugar cane have been the economic mainstays here.
