On the other hand, its extreme south end makes up its central business district. The Burleigh Heads suburb is also made up of two different sub-areas, and in a larger scale, it lies around 81 kilometers to the southeast part of Brisbane, and is right between Surfers Paradise and Coolangatta.

Burleigh Heads History
In the mid-1950s, the northern part of Burleigh Heads was known mainly as a sand mining site, and sand mining activities went on there for several decades. The 19th century then saw the beginning of early development in the small rural area in Queensland. The earliest developments were mostly made up of booms in the restaurant and accommodation services in the city, which supported the tourism that also sparked during that time. Tourism, in those days and until now, mostly cantered on beach attractions.
