History

Brunswick Heads was home to the Bundjalung people before European settlers arrived. Captain Rous documented the area when he travelled through in 1828. The town was developed and became a busy port by the end of the century. After the construction of the railway, the town went through a decline, but tourism revived it in the early 1900s. Old-fashioned holiday homes can still be found nearby.

Lifestyle and Entertainment

Brunswick Heads is still a hub for tourism, and is a calm and relaxing counterpoint to the popular Byron Bay. Charming timber bridges and old cottages give the town a quaint feel. But there are a number of modern shops, restaurants, and hotels. Community events and small festivals appear all year round.
