Australia's lowest point of elevation is the bottom of South Australia's Lake Eyre
Lake Eyre is an extensive 'salt sink' and has only filled to capacity three times in the past 150 years. When Lake Eyre does fill, it becomes the biggest lake in Australia, It is 15 meters below sea level in its lowest point.
Lake Eyre is the lowest point in Australia, at approximately 15 m (49 ft) (AHD) below sea level.
The Dead Sea is at an altitude of 423m below sea level.add The Salton Sea in US is 69m below seal level.
Below sea level atmospheric pressure increases with depth. Air pressure at sea level is about 14.7 psia. Air pressure below sea level would be slightly higher.
Something on land can be measured as below sea level when its elevation is lower than the average level of the world's oceans. This can be determined using a reference point, such as sea level, to calculate the vertical distance below it. Topographic maps and GPS technology are commonly used to measure elevations above and below sea level.
The Dead Sea is approximately 1,410 feet (430 meters) below sea level. It is the Earth's lowest elevation on land.
Lakes Eyre, Illawarra, and Alexandrina are all below sea level in Australia.

The location of lowest elevation in Australia is Lake Eyre. It is 15 meters below sea level. The location of highest elevation in Australia is Mawson Peak, which is 2,745 meters above sea level.
South Australia is a big place, it varies from below sea level (lake Eyre) to 1435m above sea level at the peak of Mt Woodroffe.
Lake Eyre is the lowest point in Australia, at approximately 15 m (49 ft) (AHD) below sea level.

40 feet below sea level is at a higher elevation than 14 feet below sea level. Elevation is measured by the distance above or below a reference point, such as sea level, so the higher the number below sea level, the lower the elevation.
The University of Colorado has a Sea Level Research Group. Link below. The CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific And Industrial Research Organisation - Australia) has historic sea level charts. Link below.

if the land surrounding the sea is below sea level
sea level is rising day by day. Soon we all will be underwater.
