Scenic continental Brampton Island was once part of a mainland mountain range. Today it is surrounded by sparkling turquoise waters, rising from sea level to 214 metres at Peak Lookout. Its rocky headlands dotted with hoop pines, open grasslands, woodlands, sheltered bays, and long sandy beaches make this island one of the most scenic off the Queensland coast. Walking on Brampton Island is a rewarding and invigorating experience. The island circuit passes through a diverse environment of open eucalypt forests on ridges and sheltered slopes, and dense vine forest in gullies and valleys. Rocky headlands with dark hoop pines and wind sheared coastal scrub contrast with sandy beaches shaded by graceful beach she-oaks. The track offers magnificent panoramic views and access to the many scenic bays surrounding the island.
