Highest Peak[edit]

The use of the term "highest peak in Brisbane" is a bit disingenuous. The western ramparts of Mount Glorious lie within the City of Brisbane's Local Government Area and rise over 700m above sea level, which is much higher than Mount Coot-tha. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.241.42.1 (talk) 12:54, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the claim does seem to hinge on what is defined as a "peak". Looking at Summit and from there Topographic prominence, it seems that the land at 700 metres within Brisbane's boundaries is not a peak but simply part of the slope rising to the peak of Mt Glorious (which is in Moreton Bay Region). There are some localised unnamed high points between Mt Glorious and Mt Coot-tha which are higher than Mt Coot-tha, but I am guessing from the Topographic prominence article that these are subpeaks of Mt Glorious. But I see no reason why the Mount Coot-tha article should not acknowledge that there is higher land within Brisbane. @Shiftchange:, what are your thoughts on this? Kerry (talk) 21:51, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

However, I note the article makes the claim about highest peak in Brisbane and links to Brisbane as a metropolis (a somewhat ill-defined boundary) rather than Brisbane as an LGA (a well-defined boundary). It's less clear the claim of Mt Coot-tha being the highest peak is defensible if we are talking about the Brisbane metropolis as that extends into other local government areas. At a minimum, the claim should be restricted to Brisbane LGA. Kerry (talk) 21:56, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's not even the highest peak in the Brisbane LGA. A review of the Queensland Government's online topographical maps (QTopo ^[1]) shows that Northbrook peak (659 MASL) straddles the borders of the Brisbane City and Somerset Region LGAs. Even if you were to restrict the claim to the highest peak wholly contained within the Brisbane LGA, that would appear to be Boombana Knob (432 MASL). 60.241.42.1 (talk) 05:24, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Untitled[edit]

Should this article be deleted and redirected to Mount Coot-tha because that article covers both the mountain and the suburb? - Shiftchange 02:44, 9 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have merged the two separate articles for Mount Coot-tha into a single article with the title of Mount Coot-tha, Queensland. Figaro 10:10, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Suburban infobox[edit]

Is there any way of modifying the Mount Coot-tha suburban infobox, where the name of "Mount Coot-tha" can be split differently, by having a break before the word "Coot-tha", so that the suburban infobox would show the name of Mount Coot-tha as:

Mount

Coot-tha

instead of as:

Mount Coot-

tha

which is how the name of "Mount Coot-tha" is shown at present. Thanks. I have tried to correct this myself, but have found the problem impossible to fix up because the name of "Mount Coot-tha" is not listed within the suburban box. Figaro 21:10, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think you would need to post this question on the Template page for the info box, and ask them to fix the template maybe? otherwise I don't know of a way to solve this. Rimmeraj 02:03, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have now done this, so hopefully something might be able to be done to fix the problem up. Figaro 04:40, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Snow ??[edit]

Can we please have a reference for this. I have never heard of snow being recorded on Mount Coot-tha. --Biatch (talk) 02:41, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
