Brampton Islands is a national park in the Mackay Region, Queensland, Australia,[1] 834 kilometres (518 mi) northwest of Brisbane. The park covers much of Brampton Island and all of Carlisle Island.
The park features rainforests, sandy beaches and coral reefs.[2] Walks exist to the summit and a circuit around the whole island. The 8.7 km circuit track leads visitors through open eucalypt forests, vine thickets, dry rainforests, grasslands and mangroves.[2]
Camping is permitted on Carlisle Island which has some facilities. Marine stingers are found in the waters of the park between October and May.[2]
One of the most striking features of the national park is Brampton Peak, which rises 214 metres above sea level.[3]
