Leper Colony of Decay

Abandoned Leper Colony on Peel Island

"Opened in 1907 and closed in the 1950's. The Peel Lazaret was perhaps Queensland's first truly multi cultural community. For within its small confines were Chinese, Aborigines, South Sea Islanders, and whites of both European and Australian origin. They were housed in four compounds: white males, white
females, coloured males, and coloured females. The whites had individual wooden huts, as
did the coloured women, but the coloured men were housed, four to a hut. Peak population was 82"
There must have been at least 40 of these huts here.
 

And a friendly neighbour...
