Burleigh Heads (including Nobby Beach, Miami, Palm
Beach and Robina)
A national park and an unspoilt headland surrounded by
the tourist development of the Gold Coast.
Located 89 km south of Brisbane and midway between
Coolangatta and Southport, Burleigh Heads is one of the few
points on the Gold Coast where the visitor can actually
experience what this beautiful coastline was like before it
was invaded by high-rise development and millions of
tourists. This is largely to do with the preservation of the
terrain around the Tallebudgera Creek estuary, especially on
the northern side where a National Park has been declared on
the headland after which the settlement was named.
Things to see:
Beaches and Foreshore
Nobby Beach, immediately north of Burleigh Heads, has a surf
lifesaving club with picnicking facilities opposite Lavarack
Rd. At the southern end of Nobby Beach there is a strip of
foreshore parkway (missing at the northern end) and a
caravan park at the southern end of Marine Parade, which
follows the foreshore. Picnic facilities are located
adjacent Marine Parade, almost opposite the end of Santa
Monica Rd.
South Nobby marks the end of Nobby Beach and to its south
is North Burleigh Beach. A narrow strip of foreshore
parkland, decorated with pandanus palms and pines, abuts the
beach on one side and The Esplanade on the other. It extends
southwards along Burleigh Beach to the actual headland
(after which the suburb is named) at the mouth of
Tallebudgera Creek. There are barbecue, picnic and parking
facilities at several points, and toilets opposite Second
Ave. There is a surf lifesaving club opposite Kratzman Ave
and another at the southernmost end of the beach, on Goodwin
Terrace, which runs past an ocean pool, more toilets and
picnic/barbecue facilities, to a parking area at the northern
end of the National Park.
Burleigh Beach is well known as a fine surfing venue and,
as such, it hosts major international surfing tournaments.
Tallebudgera Creek offers calm waters and an estuary
beach beneath the Highway Bridge which is ideal for
families. It is patrolled in the holidays by a volunteer
group which began as an all-female patrol. Further
downstream, on the southern bank, is Tallebudgera Creek
Environmental Park.
The creek is a popular spot for kayaking and boating.
There are two boat ramps inside the mouth of, and on either
side of, Tallebudgera Creek: one off Awoonga Ave and the
southern ramp is off Murlong Crescent. There is a caravan
park adjacent the southern ramp and Tallebudgera Recreation
Camp is located on the other (eastern) side of the Gold
Coast Highway to the tourist park. Another surf lifesaving
club is situated on the same patch of greenery as the camp,
by the roundabout where the highway meets Tallebudgera
Drive. The adjacent beach is known as Tallebudgera Beach
which continues south as Pacific Beach then Palm Beach,
ending at the mouth of Currumbin Creek. This southern strand
is noted for its gentle surf and its rock pools. It has no
real foreshore but there are two surf lifesaving clubs: one
at Pacific Beach (near the corner of the Gold Coast Highway
and Nineteenth Ave) and the other at Palm Beach (corner of
Jefferson lane and Seventh Ave). Palm Beach has won cleanest
beach awards on more than one occasion.
Fishing is popular along Currumbin Creek which has a boat
ramp in the parkland adjacent the Thrower Drive bridge.
For information on beaches and foreshore to the north see
entry on Surfers Paradise and, for information on beaches to
the south see entry on Coolangatta.
Burleigh Head National Park
This small 27.6-hectare national park is actually an
isolated extension of a huge volcano which was centred at
Mount Warning 22 million years ago. Despite the development
that has gone on around it, the park has managed to preserve
a small portion of coastal rainforest and heathlands,
incorporating such flora as mangroves, eucalypts, and
pandanus and faunal species such as reptiles, wallabies,
bandicoot, koalas, bush turkeys and other birds, though some
of these species are nocturnal and elusive. There is a
short, well-maintained, 2.8-km ocean-view circuit which
offers superb views of the coast from Turngum Lookout, as
well as a 1.2-km rainforest circuit. For more information
contact the Burleigh Heads Information Centre (07) 5535
3032.
Fleay's Wildlife Park
A couple of kilometres west of the coastline is Fleay's
Wildlife Park which provides an opportunity to observe the
native fauna of the area in its natural habitat. The centre
is home to dingoes, kangaroos, koalas, salt and freshwater
crocodiles, cassowaries, brolgas and more. There are
optional guided tours, wildlife talks, an Aboriginal program
and a special area for children. The Nocturnal House has a
platypus, as well as bilbys. quolls and dunnarts. It is
situated on Kabool Rd, which runs off Tallebudgera Creek Rd,
and is open from 9.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. daily. For more
information contact Fleay's on (07) 5576 2411.
Balloonwalk
Balloonwalk is the first permanently moored, passenger
carrying, observation balloon in Australia. It operates day
and night, offering spectacular views of the Gold Coast from
an elevation of160 metres and it is located in the Robina
Town Centre shopping complex, tel: (07) 5593 2244.
