Abstract
In 1927, a road bridge was constructed over Tallebudgera Creek, improving access by replacing the earlier vehicular ferry
Burleigh Heads in the heart of the Gold Coast is located 89 km south of Brisbane via the Pacific Motorway.
Between 20-23 million years ago a series of volcanic eruptions produced Mount Warning and the rocky outcrop which is now Burleigh Head.
Prior to the arrival of Europeans the area was occupied by Yugambeh Aboriginal people who fished the waters. The subgroup who lived in the area were known as the Kombumerri people.
