gold coast altitude Page 4

The Gold Coast sits basically at sea level—appropriate when beaches are the headline act. Most urban suburbs sit just a few metres up, roughly 0–20 m, so your ears won’t pop on the school run. Head west into the hinterland and the ground gets serious, with Springbrook and Lamington plateaus around 900–1,000 m above sea level. Surf in the morning, need a jumper by lunch—classic Queensland split personality. Consult official documentation for exact figures.
