context_page_description: Burleigh Head is a small national park at Burleigh Heads in the City of Gold Coast in South East Queensland, Australia.
context_section_description: The headland has steep sides and is 80 m in height.  The formation of the Burleigh headland began between 23 and 25 million years ago. At this time the Tweed Volcano was active. Molten basalt lava from the volcano flowed all the way down the valleys and eroded them all. The valleys were covered in hardened sedimentary rocks before reaching what is now the Burleigh headland. Along Tallebudgera Creek there are rocky platforms and sandy beaches.  On the seaside part of the park are black boulders at the base of a cliff. Upstream tidal Tallebudgera Creek has a mangrove environment.
  The headland is an important cultural site for the local Aboriginal tribe known as the Minjungbal people.
