When it gets to 100m, I'll take up boating.
How long will I have to wait?

Town? Not sure. But if my house is flooded, the rest of Australia will be underwater :p

About 15m and the car port could be changed to a jetty

29 metres. That would be the river breaking its banks.

I think its not completely accurate but..
at 21m the front of my house starts getting wet (but the back is dry, funny as its level)
at 29 m time to panic, the car shed starts getting wet!!
We are 10m above the '56 flood level so hopefully not an issue.

22 metres would see me being able to paddle out of our garden. 23metres would see a substantial drop in our net worth. :(

Sure.
If my house is flooded the vast majority of Australia will probably be very wet, given our house is 930m above sea level...
:P
So kosciuszko and herd island and a few other places will be okay, given that Geoscience Australia lists the average Australian elevation as being 330m above sea level.

It says 4m for me but I think it's a shade less than that given that the tide sometimes backs up through the stormwater drains and into the roadside gutters. :confused:

Bugger only 35m and I've got an ocean frontage! Or at least a nice Cooks River Valley frontage :o
I'm not sure that without a tsunami washing through Botany Bay over the airport and drowning out Rockdale, Banksia, Wolli Creek (with all its high-rise appartment breakwater) and Tempe before it gets to me that I will have a problem. It woudld be an amazing day when there will be that much flooding on the Pacific Ocean.

Elevation of 36 metres for Springwood means most of Brisbane and Logan will be under before it gets to me. Our place at Maleny has an elevation of 415 metres, so I'm not expecting a flood any time soon.

210mtrs gives us a nice water side area to the side of the house and a larger pool than what we have in the backyard:D
