A visit to a Leper Colony

At Juno Bay, we ventured ashore and walked amongst the ruins of a leper colony that was operational on the island until 1971. It was fascinating piecing together the roles of the old structures. The old remains showed there was a wash room of some kind, possibly a surgical treatment area, a canteen and an old diesel generator, to name just a few. We did search for a grave yard which is said to contain headstones of the habitants of the colony but were unable to confirm the tombstones as still actually existing. We walked away with a weird feeling of destitution coupled with the thought that it was an incredibly scenic place to put a leper colony.
