Gold Coast, QueenslandPostcode: 4213 LGA: Gold Coast City State District: Mudgeeraba Federal Division: McPherson Suburbs around Mudgeeraba: Tallai Worongary Merrimac Advancetown, Austinville and Springbrook Mudgeeraba Robina Bonogin Reedy Creek Varsity Lakes Mudgeeraba is a suburb of the Gold Coast. Mudgeeraba is remnant of the type of township that characterises the rural hinterland of the Gold Coast. Subdivision of land was conventional and buildings were traditionally rural or rural commercial. Mudgeeraba was, like Nerang, an early centre, which rose to some prominence with the coming of the railway. During the more recent boom periods Mudgeeraba has become very fashionable with many large homes on acreage as well as many more affordable family homes in the area. Mudgeeraba contains important evidence of its earlier form and building and most older houses are situated on large blocks of 0.5 acres (2,000 m2) to 2 acres (8,100 m2). Contained on an 'island' within the flood plain its essential character remains one of a nineteenth century village despite the recent encroachment of housing estates to nearby land.
