Brampton Islands is a national park in Queensland, Australia, 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.[1] 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.[1]
Camping is permitted on Carlisle Island which has some facilities. Marine stingers are found in the waters of the park between October and May.[1]
