Farther north the main crest is known as the Liverpool and the New England ranges, and under the latter name the system reaches the southern boundary of Queensland. Here are Oxley Peak, 4000 feet; Chandler Peak, 4500 feet; and Ben Lomond, 5000 feet. In this stretch are spurs running to the coast under the names of Hastings Range, with Seaview Peak, 6000 feet high; Maeleay Range, and McPherson Range, with Alount Lindsay, 5500 feet, and Mount Gipps, 4500 feet. Stretching westward into the interior are the Warrumbungle and Nundewar ranges. In Queensland the system becomes broader and more complicated, but, on the whole, is not so high. The dividing range, under the names of Craig and Benham ranges, swings far to the westward, to surround the headwaters of Fitzroy River, leaving between its crest and the coast numerous low ranges, which separate the branches of this stream. Farther north the sys tem becomes broken, being made up of ninny short, disconnected ranges, in which form it runs down York Peninsula near the east coast. Along
the western coast of Australia the Darling Range stretches from Cape Leeuwin to Shark Bay, trending a little west of north, and parallel to the coast. It is a low range, the highest point being only 1500 feet above the sea. Farther north are numerous other low ranges, arranged en echelon, and running down to the coast; so the west coast, although not paralleled by a single range, as is the east coast, is closely bor dered by mountains, not, however, of great height. The interior plain is diversified by a number of low ranges and plateaus. Probably none of the summits reaches 5000 feet in altitinle, and most of them are much lielow this height. On the whole, the interior is it region of but little relief. The lowest portion is a broad area stretch ing from the head of Carpentaria Gulf on the north to Spencer Gulf on the south. In this re gion the land nowhere rises above 500 feet, and in the southern part is little, if any, above sea level.
