Biddaddaba is a locality of the Scenic Rim Region, Queensland, Australia.[2]
Geography
Biddaddaba is nestled in a small valley formed by the Biddaddaba Creek, a tributary of Canungra Creek, itself a tributary of the Albert River. The heavily vegetated slopes of a ridge extending in a north/south direction and climbing to elevations of more than 500 m above sea level, form a summit at Mount Misery in the east. In the west, Mount Tabragalba is the highest point along another ridge with roughly half the prominence. Like many parts of the Scenic Rim the area is mostly used for agricultural purposes. Several large dams are scattered throughout the locality.
