It is placed around the foothills of Mount Louisa itself rising from 15 m above sea level to the mountain's peak of 185 m ASL. The older section of Mount Louisa faces the ocean and Magnetic Island, while new developments in the 2000's and 2010s have seen large new housing estates being built on the western and northern aspects of the Mountain. As of 2019 it is a popular fast growing suburb. HistoryDuring World War II as many as 4,000 American personnel worked and lived at Depot #2 at the base of Mount Louisa. Entertainment in the camp was held at Helton Hall, which was an open aired building named after Master Sergeant Helton who was killed in the B-25 crash at Rattlesnake Island. Some famous Hollywood stars appeared at Helton Hall including John Wayne, Joe E. Brown, Gary Cooper, Una Merkel and Phyllis Brook. Woody Herman's orchestra also appeared at Helton Hall.[2] External links
