When I think about it, we are about 300ft above sea level and the Connie was only slightly above my eyeline looking straight out to see, range less than 500m. It was probably more like 800-1000ft, and my wife, who was shopping in Mona Vale at the time, also commented on how low it was. She knows what 1500ft looks like because I always fly directly overhead our house when I do a Harbour Scenic.

I said 1500ft or lower because it appeared to come from overhead Mona Vale and then out over the beach, so this would be the requirement until off the coast.
