Burnett Heads is a town at the mouth of the Burnett River in Queensland, Australia, located 16 km north of the regional city of Bundaberg. At the 2001 census, Burnett Heads had a population of 2,065.[1]
The town's most notable feature is its historic timber lighthouse, 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.
Burnett Heads is located in the Bundaberg local government area.
