    The illegible word might be 'strandpartie', 'beach trip' in German.

Burleigh Heads viewed from Miami on the Gold Coast, Queensland, ca. 1954

    Burleigh Heads, or simply Burleigh to locals, sits like a cool comma between Surfers Paradise to the north and Coolangatta to the south. It’s a picturesque punctuation mark along the Gold Coast and most definitely somewhere to pause. The Burleigh foreshore is home to towering fragrant pine trees characteristic of the coast .

    The Aboriginal Dreaming Story of Burleigh Head "Jellurgal (Burleigh Head) was once a flat and unbroken stretch of sand dunes. The Creation Spirit, Jabreen, transformed it into a rocky outcrop. One day his pathway led him to the ocean beach where he took a long swim to the horizon and back. Emerging from the water, Jabreen, a giant of enormous stature, rose up to his full height and raised his arms skywards. As he did, the level ground followed his hands upwards to the level of his fingertips, thus forming the headland of Jellurgal with the rocky fingers pointing seawards."

North Queensland coastal view from The Bluff at the southern end of Kemp Beach 1939

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Bluff Point section, at the southern end of Kemp Beach, is a popular picnic spot with superb coastal scenery. It features a range of coastal vegetation from mangroves and heath lands to open eucalypt forests and tussock grasslands and is the largest trachyte plug on the Capricorn Coast.

    Kemp Beach is located just south of Rosslyn Bay Marina, on the Scenic Highway that links Yeppoon and Emu Park. Kemp Beach is nestled between two large post-volcanic trachyte headlands; Double Head to the north, and Bluff Point to the south, both of which are part of the Capricorn Coast National Park. Out in the bay, just a kilometre offshore, is a third trachyte hill, Bluff Rock (or Bluff Rock Reef). The three dominating features, combined with the substantial if eroded dune between the beach and the road give the impression of solitude, and it's a very easy task to relax. Kemp Beach's distance from the nearest town lights also makes it a great place for stargazing with friends at night. Source: ajthompson.com.au/central-queensland-places/kemp-beach.htm
