Burnett Heads, Queensland, 1938

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Burnett Heads is a coastal town and locality in the Bundaberg Region, Queensland, Australia. The locality of Burnett Heads is on the southern side of the Burnett River at its mouth into the Coral Sea. The river forms the western and northern boundaries, while the ocean forms most of the eastern boundary. The town's most notable feature is its historic timber lighthouse, the Old Burnett Heads Light, dating from 1873. The structure, originally sited on South Head (the southern entrance to the Burnett River), was replaced by a modern structure in 1971; the original lighthouse was restored and moved to a local park off Mittelheuser Street. It includes the original Fresnel lens. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burnett_Heads,_Queensland

    Pandanus is a genus of monocots with some 750 accepted species.[2] They are palm-like, dioecious trees and shrubs native to the Old World tropics and subtropics. The greatest number of species are found in Madagascar and Malaysia.[3] Common names include pandan[4] (/ˈpændən/),[5] screw palm,[4] and screw pine.[4] They are classified in the order Pandanales, family Pandanaceae.[6][7] Often called pandanus palms, these plants are not closely related to palm trees. The species vary in size from small shrubs less than 1 m (3.3 ft) tall, to medium-sized trees 20 m (66 ft) tall, typically with a broad canopy, heavy fruit, and moderate growth rate.[12] The trunk is stout, wide-branching, and ringed with many leaf scars.[13] Mature plants can have branches.[13] Depending on the species, the trunk can be smooth, rough, or warty.[14] The roots form a pyramidal tract to hold the trunk.[15] They commonly have many thick stilt roots near the base, which provide support as the tree grows top-heavy with leaves, fruit, and branches.[16] These roots are adventitious and often branched. The top of the plant has one or more crowns of strap-shaped leaves that may be spiny,[6][7] varying between species from 30 cm (12 in) to 2 m (6.6 ft) or longer, and from 1.5 cm (0.59 in) up to 10 cm (3.9 in) broad. They are dioecious, with male and female flowers produced on different plants. The flowers of the male tree are 2–3 cm (0.79–1.18 in) long and fragrant, surrounded by narrow, white bracts. The female tree produces flowers with round fruits that are also bract-surrounded. The individual fruit is a drupe, and these merge to varying degrees forming multiple fruit, a globule structure, 10–20 cm (3.9–7.9 in) in diameter and have many prism-like sections, resembling the fruit of the pineapple. Typically, the fruit changes from green to bright orange or red as it matures. The fruits can stay on the tree for more than 12 months. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandanus

    Wonderful historical shot. Is this looking south over Bullcock Beach towards Bribie Island?
