Trip to Peel Island for Lazaret families

Sunday 21 September 2008 was a very special day. The weather was beautful,  water calm and the tides just right for a beach landing by QPWS staff and guests to help celebrate 100 years of national parks in Queensland.

For many who made the trip, it was the first time they'd been to Peel Island (Teerk Roo Ra - now a National Park) and the lazaret - a place where family members had either been patients, or staff. For more information...
