Latest guess is that full south pole melt will raise sea level 60 metres.

A:The chances of it happening are not great, but if Antarctica melts, all Australia's capital cities will be underwater. Antarctica holds enough ice to raise sea levels by 60 metres (200 feet).
  • Perth: Average 31.5 metres altitude.
  • Adelaide: 50 m
  • Sydney: 36 m
  • Melbourne: 10 m
  • Brisbane: 28.4 m
  • Hobart: 8.45 m
  • Darwin: 27.8 m
  • Canberra: 574 m
  • So the capital, Canberra, more than 100 km from the sea, is the only city safe.
