Burrum to Burnett

A short trip to drop in on dear friends of ours who have recently been living in Europe for a few years gave us the chance to visit this amazing section of the Fraser coast.  We stayed on the beach front at Burnett Heads, explored Mon Repos the turtle breeding beach, touristy Bagara and peaceful Elliott Heads.

Pale Headed Rosella, our bird of the week, found on our walk out to the lighthouse and breakwater

Mon Repos is famous for its Turtle hatchery, and we took the time to do the Turtle Track and explore this conservation area which included a bush walk, and secluded beach track

Mon Repos is a french name, “my rest” named by the French when an underwater telegraph station linked North America and Australia via New Caledonia in the 1880s.
