Suburb of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
Mount Gravatt East is a southern suburb in the City of Brisbane , Queensland , Australia.[3] In the 2021 census , Mount Gravatt East had a population of 12,428 people.[1]
Geography [ edit ]
Mount Gravatt East is located 8 kilometres (5 mi ) southeast of the central business district .

On land owned by Boral along Pine Mountain Road, an old quarry has filled with water. Despite being fenced off, trespassers have gained access and used the dam as a swimming hole. A Brisbane City Council report found the water had a pH level of about 3.3 and contained traces of metals making it unsuitable for human contact.[5]
