The great dividing range is in Eastern Australia, and extends from
Cape York in the north, then goes all the way to the south. It even appears in
the island of Tasmania. Before it hits Tasmania it becomes submerged in the Bass
Straight. The total length of these mountains, plateaus, and hills is about 1,900
miles long. Sections of the Great Dividing Range are the Australian Alps, the
Blue Mountains, the Clark Mountains, and the Snowy Mountains. The Great Dividing
Range varies greatly in Geographical Age and topographically. The highest peak
in Australia is in the Great Dividing Range. That peak is Mount Kosciusko, whose
height is about 7,310 feet. Several of Australias major rivers star in the Great
Dividing Range. Some of those rivers are the Darling, Snowy, Murray, and Murrumbidgee
River. All in all this range is a long, but low elevation range. But is also supplies major water sources.
