Vintage Travel - Brampton Island, 1954 style

Many people have heard of Airlie Beach and the Whitsundays.  I live in Mackay, which is about 1 1/2 hours drive south of Airlie, and gateway to the southern Cumberland group of islands.  One such Island is Brampton Island.  Once a tourist destination, with stars such as British band The Police holidaying there, Brampton island is now closed to all but the most intrepid day trippers - the buildings are derelict and there are no facilities.
