Australia Listeni/?'stre?lj?, ?-, The landscapes of the northern part of the country?the Top End and the Gulf Country behind the Gulf of Carpentaria, with their tropical climate?consist of woodland, grassland, and desert.[160][161][162] At the north-west corner of the continent are the sandstone cliffs and gorges of The Kimberley, and below that the Pilbara. To the south of these and inland, lie more areas of grassland: the Ord Victoria Plain and the Western Australian Mulga shrublands.[163][164][165] At the heart of the country are the uplands of central Australia; prominent features of the centre and south include the inland Simpson, Tirari and Sturt Stony, Gibson, Great Sandy, Tanami, and Great Victoria deserts, with the famous Nullarbor Plain on the southern coast.The climate of Australia is significantly influenced by ocean currents, including the Indian Ocean Dipole and the El Niño?Southern Oscillation, which is correlated with periodic drought, and the seasonal tropical low-pressure system that produces cyclones in northern Australia.[170][171] These factors cause rainfall to vary markedly from year to year. Much of the northern part of the country has a tropical, predominantly summer-rainfall (monsoon) climate.[172] The southwest corner of the country has a Mediterranean climate.[173] Much of the southeast (including Tasmania) Although most of Australia is semi-arid or desert, it includes a diverse range of habitats from alpine heaths to tropical rainforests, and is recognised as a megadiverse country. The fungi typify that diversity; the total number that occur in Australia, including those not yet discovered, has been estimated at around 250,000 species, of which roughly 5% have been described.[174] Because of the continent's great age, extremely variable weather patterns, and long-term geographic isolation, much of Australia's biota is unique and diverse. Approximately 85% of flowering plants, 84% of mammals, more than 45% of birds, and 89% of in-shore, temperate-zone fish are endemic.[175] Australia has the greatest number of reptiles of any country, with 755 species.[176]is temperate.[172][166][167][168][169]-i?/,[10][11] officially the Commonwealth of Australia,[12] is a country comprising the mainland of the Australian continent, the island of Tasmania, and numerous smaller islands. It is the world's sixth-largest country by total area. Neighbouring countries include Indonesia, East Timor and Papua New Guinea to the north; the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and New Caledonia to the north-east; and New For at least 40,000 years[13] before the first British settlement in the late 18th century,[14][15] Australia was inhabited by indigenous Australians,[16] who spoke languages grouped into roughly 250 language groups.[17][18] After the discovery of the continent by Dutch explorers in xxxx, Australia's eastern half was claimed by Great Britain in xxxx and settled through penal transportation to the colony of New South Wales from 26 January xxxx. The population grew steadily in subsequent decades; the continent was explored and an additional five self-governing Crown On 1 January xxxx, the six colonies federated, forming the Commonwealth of Australia. Since Federation, Australia has maintained a stable liberal democratic political system that functions as a federal parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy. The federation comprises six states and several territories. The population of 23.1 million[5] is highly urbanised and heavily concentrated Australia is a developed country and one of the wealthiest in the world, with the world's 12th-largest economy. In xxxx Australia had the world's fifth-highest per capita income,[20] Australia's military expenditure is the world's 13th-largest. With the second-highest human development index globally, Australia ranks highly in many international comparisons of national performance, such as quality of life, health, education, economic freedom, and the protection of civil liberties and political rights.[21]Australia is a wealthy country[198][199][200] with a market economy, a relatively high GDP per capita, and a relatively low rate of poverty. In terms of average wealth, Australia ranked second in the world after Switzerland in xxxx, and the nation's poverty rate increased from 10.2 per cent to 11.8 per cent, from xxxx/01 to xxxx.[201][202] It was identified by the Credit Suisse Research Institute as the nation with the highest median wealth in the world and the second-highest average wealth per adultThe Australian dollar is the currency for the nation, including Christmas Island, Cocos (Keeling) Islands, and Norfolk Island, as well as the independent Pacific Island states of Kiribati, Nauru, and Tuvalu. With the xxxx merger of the Australian Stock Exchange and the Sydney Futures Exchange, the Australian Securities Exchange became Ranked third in the Index of Economic Freedom (xxxx),[204] Australia is the world's twelfth largest economy and has the fifth highest per capita GDP (nominal) at $66,984. The country was ranked second in the United Nations xxxx Human Development Index and first in Legatum's xxxx Prosperity Index.[205] All of Australia's major cities fare well in global comparative livability surveys;[206] Melbourne reached first place on The Economist's xxxx and xxxx world's most livable cities lists, followed by Sydney, Perth, and Adelaide in sixth, eighth, and ninth place respectively.[207] Total government debt in Australia is about $190 billion[208] ? 20% of GDP in xxxx.[209] Australia has among the highest house prices and some of the highest household-debt An emphasis on exporting commodities rather than manufactured goods has underpinned a significant increase in Australia's terms of trade since the start of the 21st century, due to rising commodity prices. Australia has a balance of payments that is more than 7% of GDP negative, and has had persistently large current account deficits for more than 50 years.[212] Australia has grown at an average annual rate of 3.6% for over 15 years, in comparison to the OECD annual average of 2.5%.[212] Australia was the only advanced economy not to experience a recession due to the global financial downturn in xxxx?xxxx.[213] However, the economies of six of Australia's major trading partners have been in recession, which in turn has affected Australia, significantly hampering its economic growth in recent years.[214][215] From xxxx to early xxxx, Australia's national economy grew, but some non-mining states and Australia's non-mining economy experienced a recession.[216][217][218]levels in the world.[210]the ninth largest in the world.[203] in xxxx.[201] Australia is a member of the United Nations, G20, Commonwealth of Nations, ANZUS, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), World Trade Organization, Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, and the Pronounced [?'st?æ?lj?, -li?] in Australian English,[22] the name Australia is derived from the Latin australis, meaning "southern". The country has been referred to colloquially as Oz since the early 20th century.[N 4] Aussie is a common colloquial term for "Australian". In neighbouring New Zealand the term "Aussie" is sometimes applied as a noun to the nation as wellLegends of Terra Australis Incognita?an "unknown land of the South"?date back to Roman times and were commonplace in medieval geography, although not based on any documented knowledge of the continent. Following European discovery, names for the Australian landmass were often references to the The earliest recorded use of the word Australia in English was in xxxx in "A note of Australia del Espíritu Santo, written by Sir Richard Hakluyt", published by Samuel Purchas in Hakluytus Posthumus, a corruption of the original Spanish name "Tierra Austral del Espíritu Santo" (Southern Land of the Holy Spirit)[28] for an island in Vanuatu.[29] The Dutch adjectival form Australische was used in a Dutch book in Batavia (Jakarta) in xxxx, to refer to the newly discovered lands to the south.[30] Australia was later used in a xxxx translation of Les Aventures de Jacques Sadeur dans la Découverte et le Voyage de la Terre Australe, a xxxx French novel by Gabriel de Foigny, under the pen-name Jacques Sadeur.[31] Referring to the entire South Pacific region, Alexander Dalrymple used it in An Historical Collection of Voyages and Discoveries in the South Pacific Ocean in xxxx. By the end of the 18th century, the name was being used to refer specifically to Australia, with the botanists George Shaw and Sir James Smith writing of "the vast island, or rather continent, of Australia, Australasia or New Holland" in their xxxx Zoology and Botany of New Holland,[32] and James Wilson including The name Australia was popularised by the explorer Matthew Flinders, who pushed for it to be formally adopted as early as xxxx. When preparing his manuscript and charts for his xxxx A Voyage to Terra Australis, he was persuaded by his patron, Sir Joseph Banks, to use the term Terra Australis as this was the name most familiar to the public. Flinders did so, and published thThere is no probability, that any other detached body of land, of nearly equal extent, will ever be found in a more southern latitude; the name Terra Australis will, therefore, remain descriptive of the geographical importance of this country, and of its situation on the globe: it has antiquity to recommend it; and, having no reference to either of the two claiming nations, appears to be less objectionable than any other which could have bThis is the only occurrence of the word Australia in that text; but in Appendix III, Robert Brown's General remarks, geographical and systematical, on the botany of Terra Australis, Brown makes use of the adjectival form Australian throughout,[36]?the first known use of that form.[37] Despite popular conception, the book was not instrumental in the adoption of the name: the name came gradually to be accepted over the The first time that the name Australia appears to have been officially used was in a despatch to Lord Bathurst of 4 April xxxx in which Governor Lachlan Macquarie acknowledges the receipt of Capt. Flinders' charts of Australia.[39] On 12 December xxxx, Macquarie recommended to the Colonial Office that it be formally adopted.[40] In xxxx, the Admiralty agreed that the continent should be known officiallyHuman habitation of the Australian continent is estimated to have begun between 42,000 and 48,000 years ago,[42] possibly with the migration of people by land bridges and short sea-crossings from what is now South-East Asia. These first inhabitants may have been ancestors of modern Indigenous Australians.[43] At the time of European settlement in the late 18th century, most Indigenous Australians were hunter-gatherers, with a complex oral culture and spiritual values based on reverence for the land and a belief in the Dreamtime. The Torres Strait Islanders, ethnically Melanesian, were originally horticulturalists and hunter-gatherers.[44] The northern coasts and waters of Australia were visited sporadically by fishermen from Maritime The first recorded European sighting of the Australian mainland, and the first recorded European landfall on the Australian continent, are attributed to the Dutch navigator Willem Janszoon. He sighted the coast of Cape York Peninsula in early xxxx, and made landfall on 26 February at the Pennefather River near the modern town of Weipa on Cape York.[46] The Dutch charted the whole of the western and northern coastlines and named the island continent "New Holland" during the 17th century, but made no attempt at settlement.[46] William Dampier, an English explorer and privateer, landed on the north-west coast of New Holland in xxxx and again in xxxx on a return trip.[47] In xxxx, James Cook sailed along and mapped the east coast, which he named New South Wales and claimed for Great Britain.[48] With the loss of its American colonies in xxxx, the British Government sent a fleet of ships, the "First Fleet", under the command of Captain Arthur Phillip, to establish a new penal colony in New South Wales. A camp was set up and the flag raised at Sydney Cove, Port Jackson, on 26 January xxxx,[15] a date which became Australia's national day, Australia Day although the British Crown Colony of New South Wales was not formally promulgated until 7 February xxxx. The first settlement led to the foundation of Sydney, the establishment of farming, industry and commerce; and the exploration and settlementA British settlement was established in Van Diemen's Land, now known as Tasmania, in xxxx and it became a separate colony in xxxx.[49] The United Kingdom formally claimed the western part of Western Australia (the Swan River Colony) in xxxx.[50] Separate colonies were carved from parts of New South Wales: South Australia in xxxx, Victoria in xxxx, and Queensland in xxxx.[51] The Northern Territory was founded in xxxx when it was excised from South Australia.[52] South Australia was founded as a "free province"?it was never a penal colony.[53] Victoria and Western Australia were also founded "free", but later accepted transported convicts.[54][55] A campaign by the settlers of New South Wales led to the end of convict transportation to that colony; the last convict ship The indigenous population, estimated to have been between 750,000 and 1,000,000 at the time European settlement began,[57] declined Australian forests are mostly made up of evergreen species, particularly eucalyptus trees in the less arid regions, wattles replace them in drier regions and deserts as the most dominant species.[177] Among well-known Australian animals are the monotremes (the platypus and echidna); a host of marsupials, including the kangaroo, koala, and wombat, and birds such as the emu and the kookaburra.[177] Australia is home to many dangerous animals including some of the most venomous snakes in the world.[178] The dingo was introduced by Austronesian people who traded with Indigenous Australians around xxxx BCE.[179] Many animal and plant species became extinct soon after first human settlement,[180] including the Australian megafauna; others have disappeared since European settlement, among them Many of Australia's ecoregions, and the species within those regions, are threatened by human activities and introduced animal, chromistan, fungal and plant species.[183] The federal Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act xxxx is the legal framework for the protection of threatened species.[184] Numerous protected areas have been created under the National Strategy for the Conservation of Australia's Biological Diversity to protect and preserve unique ecosystems;[185][186] 65 wetlands are listed under the Ramsar Convention,[187] and 16 natural World Heritage Sites have been established.[188] Australia was ranked 51st of 163 countries in the world on the xxxx Environmental Performance Index.[189]the thylacine.[181][182]for 150 years following settlement, mainly due to infectious disease.[58] A government policy of "assimilation" beginning with the Aboriginal Protection Act xxxx resulted in the removal of many Aboriginal children from their families and communities?often referred to as the Stolen Generations?a practice which may also have contributed to the decline in the indigenous population.[59] The Federal government gained the power to make laws with respect to Aborigines following the xxxx referendum.[60] Traditional ownership of land?aboriginal title?was not recognised until xxxx, when the High Court case Mabo v Queensland (No 2) overturned the legal doctrine that Australia had been terra nullius ("land belonging to no one") before theA gold rush began in Australia in the early xxxxs[62] and the Eureka Rebellion against mining licence fees in xxxx was an early expression of civil disobedience.[63] Between xxxx and xxxx, the six colonies individually gained responsible government, managing most of their own affairs while remaining part of the British Empire.[64] The Colonial Office in London retained control of some matters, notably foreign affairs,[65] defence,[66] and On 1 January xxxx, federation of the colonies was achieved after a decade of planning, consultation and voting.[67] The Commonwealth of Australia was established and it became a dominion of the British Empire in xxxx. The Federal Capital Territory (later renamed the Australian Capital Territory) was formed in xxxx as the location for the future federal capital of Canberra. Melbourne was the temporary seat of government from xxxx to xxxx while Canberra was being constructed.[68] The Northern Territory was transferred from the control of the South Australian government to the federal parliament in xxxx.[69] In xxxx, Australia joined Britain in fighting World War I, with support from both the outgoing Commonwealth Liberal Party and the incoming Australian Labor Party.[70][71] Australians took part in many of the major battles fought on the Western Front.[72] Of about 416,000 who served, about 60,000 were killed and another 152,000 were wounded.[73] Many Australians regard the defeat of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZACs) at Gallipoli as the birth of the nation?its first major military action.[74][75] The Kokoda Track campaign is regarded by many as an analogous nation-defining event Britain's Statute of Westminster xxxx formally ended most of the constitutional links between Australia and the UK. Australia adopted it in xxxx,[77] but it was backdated to xxxx to confirm the validity of legislation passed by the Australian Parliament during World War II.[78][79] The shock of the United Kingdom's defeat in Asia in xxxx and the threat of Japanese invasion caused Australia to turn to the United States as a new ally and protector.[80] Since xxxx, Australia has been a formal military ally of the US, under the ANZUS treaty.[81] After World War II Australia encouraged immigration from Europe. Since the xxxxs and following the abolition of the White Australia policy, immigration from Asia and elsewhere was also promoted.[82] As a result, Australia's demography, culture, and self-image were transformed.[83] The final constitutional ties between Australia and the UK were severed with the passing of the Australia Act xxxx, ending any British role in the government of the Australian States, and closing the option of judicial appeals to the Privy Council in London.[84] In a xxxx referendum, 55% of voters and a majority in every state rejected a proposal to become a republic with a president appointed by a two-thirds vote in both Houses of the Australian Parliament. Since the election of the Whitlam Government in xxxx,[85] there has been an increasing focus in foreign policy on ties with other Pacific Rim nations, while maintaining close ties with Australia's traditional allies and Australia is a constitutional monarchy with a federal division of powers. It uses a parliamentary system of government with Queen Elizabeth II at its apex as the Queen of Australia, a role that is distinct from her position as monarch of the other Commonwealth realms. The Queen resides in the United Kingdom, and she is represented by her viceroys in Australia (the Governor-General at the federal level and by the Governors at the state level), who by convention act on the advice of her ministers. Supreme executive authority is vested by the Constitution of Australia in the sovereign, but the power to exercise it is conferred by the Constitution specifically on the Governor-General.[87][88] The most notable exercise to date of the Governor-General's reserve powers outside the Prime Minister's request was the dismissal of the Whitlam Government in the constitutional In the Senate (the upper house), there are 76 senators: twelve each from the states and two each from the mainland territories (the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory).[91] The House of Representatives (the lower house) has 150 members elected from single-member electoral divisions, commonly known as "electorates" or "seats", allocated to states on the basis of population,[92] with each original state guaranteed a minimum of five seats.[93] Elections for both chambers are normally held every three years, simultaneously; senators have overlapping six-year terms except for those from the territories, whose terms are not fixed but are tied to the electoral cycle for the lower house; thus only 40 of the 76 places in the Senate are put to each election unless the cycle is interrupted by a Australia's electoral system uses preferential voting for all lower house elections with the exception of Tasmania and the ACT which, along with the Senate and most state upper houses, combine it with proportional representation in a system known as the single transferable vote. Voting is compulsory for all enrolled citizens 18 years and over in every jurisdiction,[94] as is enrolment (with the exception of South Australia).[95] The party with majority support in the House of Representatives forms the government and its leader becomes Prime Minister. In cases where no party has majority support, the Governor-General has the power to appoint the Prime Minister and, if necessary, dismiss one that has lost the confidence There are two major political groups that usually form government, federally and in the states: the Australian Labor Party and the Coalition which is a formal grouping of the Liberal Party and its minor partner, the National Party.[97][98] Independent members and several minor parties have achieved representation in Australian parliaments, Within Australian political culture, the Coalition is considered centre-right and the Labor Party is considered centre-left. Queensland in particular, along with Western Australia and the Northern Territory, are regarded as comparatively conservative.[99][100][101][102][103][104][105] Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania, and the Australian Capital Territory are regarded as comparatively socially liberal.[101][105][106][107][108] New South Wales has often been regarded as a politically moderate bellwetherFollowing a partyroom leadership challenge, Julia Gillard became the first female Prime Minister in June xxxx.[109] The most recent federal election was held on 7 September xxxx and resulted in a majority government for the Liberal Party of Australia with party leader Tony Abbott as Prime Minister-elect. He was sworn into office by the Governor-General of Australia on Australia has six states?New South Wales (NSW), Queensland (QLD), South Australia (SA), Tasmania (TAS), Victoria (VIC) and Western Australia (WA)?and two major mainland territories?the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) and the Northern Territory (NT). In most respects these two territories function as states, but the Commonwealth Parliament can override any legislation of their parliaments. By contrast, federal legislation overrides state legislation only in areas that are set out in Section 51 of the Australian Constitution; state parliaments retain all residual legislative powers, including those over schools, state police, the state judiciary, roads, public transport and local government, since these do not fall under the provisionsEach state and major mainland territory has its own parliament?unicameral in the Northern Territory, the ACT and Queensland?and bicameral in the other states. The states are sovereign entities, although subject to certain powers of the Commonwealth as defined by the Constitution. The lower houses are known as the Legislative Assembly (the House of Assembly in South Australia and Tasmania); the upper houses are known as the Legislative Council. The head of the government in each state is the Premier and in each territory the Chief Minister. The Queen is represented in each state by a Governor; and in the Northern Territory, the Administrator.[111] In the Commonwealth, the Queen's representative is theOver recent decades, Australia's foreign relations have been driven by a close association with the United States through the ANZUS pact, and by a desire to develop relationships with Asia and the Pacific, particularly through ASEAN and the Pacific Islands Forum. In xxxx Australia secured an inaugural seat at the East Asia Summit following its accession to the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia, and in xxxx attended the Sixth East Asia Summit in Indonesia. Australia is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, in which the Commonwealth Heads of Government meetings provide the main forum forAustralia has pursued the cause of international trade liberalisation.[115][116][117] It led the formation of the Cairns Group and Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation.[118][119] Australia is a member of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and the World Trade Organization,[120][121] and has pursued several major bilateral free trade agreements, most recently the Australia ? United States Free Trade Agreement[122] and Closer Economic Relations with New Zealand,[123] with another free trade agreement being negotiated with China?the Australia?China Free Trade Agreement?and Japan,[124] South Korea in xxxx,[125][126] Australia?Chile Free Trade Agreement, ASEAN ? Australia ? New Zealand Free Trade Area, and the Trans-Pacific Strategic Along with New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Malaysia and Singapore, Australia is party to the Five Power Defence Arrangements, a regional defence agreement. A founding member country of the United Nations, Australia is strongly committed to multilateralism[127] and maintains an international aid program under which some 60 countries receive assistance. The xxxx?06 budget provides A$2.5 billion for development assistance.[128] Australia ranks seventh overall in the Center for Global Development's xxxx Commitment tAustralia's armed forces?the Australian Defence Force (ADF)?comprise the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), the Australian Army and the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), in total numbering 80,561 personnel (including 55,068 regulars and 25,493 reservists).[130] The titular role of Commander-in-Chief is vested in the Governor-General, who appoints a Chief of the Defence Force from one of the armed services on the advice of the government.[131] Day-to-day force operations are under the command of the Chief, while broader administration and the formulation of defence policy is undertaken by the Minister and In the xxxx?11 budget, defence spending was A$25.7 billion,[132] representing the 13th largest defence budget.[133] Australia has been involved in UN and regional peacekeeping, disaster relief and armed conflict; it currently has deployed approximately 3,330 defence force personnel in varying capacities to 12 international operations in areas including East Timor, Solomon Islands Australia's landmass of 7,617,930 square kilometres (2,941,300 sq mi)[135] is on the Indo-Australian Plate. Surrounded by the Indian and Pacific oceans,[N 5] it is separated from Asia by the Arafura and Timor seas, with the Coral Sea lying off the Queensland coast, and the Tasman Sea lying between Australia and New Climate change has become an increasing concern in Australia in recent years, and protection of the environment is a major political issue.[190][191] In xxxx, the First Rudd Government signed the instrument of ratification of the Kyoto Protocol. Nevertheless, Australia's carbon dioxide emissions per capita are among the highest in the world, lower than those of only a few other industrialised nations.[192] Rainfall in Australia has slightly increased over the past century, both nationwide and for two quadrants of the nation,[193] According to the Bureau of Meteorology's xxxx Australian Climate Statement, Australia had lower than average temperatures in xxxx as a consequence of a La Niña weather pattern, however, "the country's 10-year average continues to demonstrate the rising trend in temperatures, with xxxx?xxxx likely to rank in the top two warmest 10-year periods on record for Australia, at 0.52 °C above the long-term average".[194] Water restrictions are frequently in place in many regions and cities of Australia in response to chronic shortages due to urban population increases and localised drought.[195][196] Throughout much of the continent, major flooding regularly follows extended periods of drought, flushing out inland river systems, overflowing dams and inundating large inland flood plains, as occurred throughout Eastern Australia in xxxx, xxxx and xxxx after the xxxxs Australian drought.Zealand. The world's smallest continent[137] and sixth largest country by total area,[138] Australia?owing to its size and isolation?is often dubbed the "island continent",[139] and is sometimes considered the world's largest island.[140] Australia has 34,218 kilometres (21,262 mi) of coastline (excluding all offshore islands),[141] and claims an extensive Exclusive Economic Zone of 8,148,250 square kilometres (3,146,060 sq mi). This exclusive economic zone does not include the Australian Antarctic Territory.[142] Excluding Macquarie Island, Australia lies between latitudes 9° and 44°S, and longitudes The Great Barrier Reef, the world's largest coral reef,[143] lies a short distance off the north-east coast and extends for over 2,000 kilometres (1,240 mi). Mount Augustus, claimed to be the world's largest monolith,[144] is located in Western Australia. At 2,228 metres (7,310 ft), Mount Kosciuszko on the Great Dividing Range is the highest mountain on the Australian mainland. Even taller are Mawson Peak (at 2,745 metres or 9,006 feet), on the remote Australian territory of Heard Island, and, in the Australian Antarctic Territory, Mount McClintock and Mount Menzies, at 3,492 metres (11,457 ft) and 3,355 metres (11,007 ft) Australia's size gives it a wide variety of landscapes, with subtropical rainforests in the north-east, mountain ranges in the south-east, south-west and east, and dry desert in the centre.[146] It is the flattest continent,[147] with the oldest and least fertile soils;[148][149] desert or semi-arid land commonly known as the outback makes up by far the largest portion of land.[150] The driest inhabited continent, only its south-east and south-west corners have a temperate climate.[151] The population density, 2.8 inhabitants per square kilometre, is among the lowest in the world,[152] although a large proportion of the population lives along the temperateEastern Australia is marked by the Great Dividing Range, which runs parallel to the coast of Queensland, New South Wales and much of Victoria. The name is not strictly accurate, because parts of the range consist of low hills, and the highlands are typically no more than 1,600 metres (5,249 ft) in height.[154] The coastal uplands and a belt of Brigalow grasslands lie between the coast and the mountains, while inland of the dividing range are large areas of grassland.[154][155] These include the western plains of New South Wales, and the Einasleigh Uplands, Barkly Tableland, and Mulga Lands of inland Queensland.
