You can kite at Conway beach
but be aware that there is a lot of wildlife - sharks and crocs so stay well away from the river mouth itself
I would advise driving to bowen its good in several directions of wind

I second what brucex said.
Just watch out for baggsy ripping along the beach on his ATB! I hear the Bowen police have been after him for breaking the speed limit.

Has anyone been kiting on Hamilton Island? I am heading up there at the end of October and was thinking of taking my gear up with me. Thought the wind might be alright, pretty sure the water will be a little warmer than Melbourne!

best season ?? mate it blows all year round!!
but seriously in the winter i spose is best, when the weather is crap down south it is fairly constant wind here..
in the summer we get some rainy days (especially around whitsunday islands ) but also comes with serious winds (35+ knots) asociated with the monsoon season.
keep an eye out on the weather and wot happening around the place at:
