Brunswick Heads is a small town on the north coast of New South Wales, Australia in Byron Shire.

[1] Originally inhabited by people of the Bundjalung nation, the Brunswick River was charted by Captain Henry Rous in 1828.

His visit was followed more than 20 years later by cedar cutters, whose activities led to the creation of the first town in what is now Byron Shire.

Poet and painter Edwin Wilson (1942-2022) started school at Brunswick Heads, as recorded in his 2000 autobiography The Mullumbimby Kid.

[citation needed] Despite the surrounding coastal development, Brunswick Heads has retained its traditional seaside village atmosphere.
