Description
Brampton is one of the Cumberland Islands, named by Captain Cook after the Duke of Cumberland in 1770. Lying to the south of the Whitsunday Islands, they are often called the southern Whitsundays. The nearest place on the mainland is Mackay.

Brampton is a hilly and densely wooded island with an area of 4.6 sq.km, rising to 219m at its highest point. Like the Whitsunday Islands, it is surrounded by coral reefs, with the outer reef lying some 40km away. On the coasts are mangrove swamps and in the interior are coconut palms, originally planted at the end of the 19th C.
