Itinerary

1. Burleigh Head National Park

As you walk along the scenic shoreline and rainforest trails, your guide will bring the land to life with Dreaming stories and cultural insights. Discover ancient shell middens, traditional ochre sites, and significant places that have been used for generations by the Yugambeh language-speaking people. Keep an eye out for native wildlife, including brush turkeys, water dragons, and sea eagles soaring overhead. During the right season, you may even spot humpback whales migrating along the coast. Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the headland, where waves crash against volcanic rock formations, pandanus palms line the trails, and the scent of the ocean mingles with the rich greenery of the rainforest. Learn about bush tucker, medicinal plants, and the deep spiritual connection Aboriginal people have with this land.

Duration: 40 mins

2. Echo Beach

As part of your journey on the Jellurgal Walkabout tour, you’ll pass by Echo Beach, a peaceful stretch of Tallebudgera Creek nestled at the base of Burleigh Headland. This tranquil spot, with its crystal-clear waters and lush surroundings, has long been a place of significance for the Yugambeh language-speaking people. Your Aboriginal guide will share stories of how the creek was traditionally used for fishing, gathering food, and cultural practices. Learn about the rich marine life that thrives in these waters and the importance of tidal flows to the ecosystem. The calm, shallow waters of Echo Beach also make it a popular place for families to swim and relax, just as it has been a gathering place for generations. As you take in the breathtaking views of the creek meeting the rainforest, you’ll gain a deeper appreciation for the deep spiritual and cultural connection the local Aboriginal people have with this land.

Duration: 20 mins

3. Tallebudgera Creek

Flowing alongside Burleigh Headland, Tallebudgera Creek is a stunning natural waterway that has sustained the Yugambeh language-speaking people for thousands of years. Its name, meaning "good fish" in the local Aboriginal language, reflects its rich marine life and historical importance as a vital source of food and resources. During the Jellurgal Walkabout tour, you’ll gain insight into the deep cultural connections between the land and water. Your guide will share traditional fishing and hunting practices, including how local Aboriginal people used spears, nets, and tidal knowledge to gather food from the creek. You’ll also learn about the significance of this area as a meeting place for families and community gatherings. As you explore its pristine shoreline, you’ll experience the same natural beauty that has drawn people to this special place for generations.

Duration: 30 mins

4. Burleigh Headland Ocean View Track

Winding along the rugged coastline of Burleigh Headland, the Burleigh Heads Oceanview Track offers breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean while immersing you in the rich cultural heritage of the Yugambeh language-speaking people. This scenic trail is a key part of the Jellurgal Walkabout tour, where your Aboriginal guide will share stories of the land, Dreaming, and the deep spiritual significance of the headland. As you walk beneath towering pandanus palms and through lush rainforest, you’ll discover ancient sites, traditional ochre markings, and shell middens—evidence of thousands of years of continuous connection to Country. Along the way, keep an eye out for bottlenose dolphins riding the waves, sea eagles soaring overhead, and in the right season, humpback whales migrating along the coast. With the sounds of crashing waves and the salty ocean breeze, this track offers a powerful experience that blends natural beauty with cultural insight.
