Burleigh Before the Boom
Captured from the sky in the 1950s, this aerial photograph reveals Burleigh Heads, QLD at a quieter time — long before the high-rises and holiday crowds. The rooftops lead your eye to the ocean, with the iconic headland anchoring the horizon in soft black and white tones.
Every detail holds a sense of place — from the neat coastal grid to the sweep of sand curving into the distance. It’s an image that doesn’t just show Burleigh — it remembers it.
Ideal for surf culture enthusiasts, collectors of mid-century Australian photography, or anyone drawn to the Gold Coast’s layered history, this print offers a calm, nostalgic presence with genuine character.
Printed on archival-quality paper, it brings history and atmosphere to any space — no colour needed.
