Mudgeeraba, Queensland
Mudgeeraba is a suburb of the Gold Coast. Mudgeeraba is the very remnant of those townships that characterise the rural hinterland of the Gold Coast. Subdivision was conventional and buildings were traditional rural or rural commercial. Mudgeeraba was, like Nerang, an early centre, which rose to some prominence with the coming of the railway. Left behind in the more recent boom period Mudgeeraba contains important evidence of its earlier form and building. Contained on an 'island' within the flood plain its character remains one of a nineteenth century village despite the recent encroachment of housing estates to nearby land. Mudgeeraba also situates Somerset College, a highly academical school.
