Not in the strictest sense of the word "prairie". The Darling Rnages are made up of woodland, open grassland and dense melaleuca scrub. It is part of the wheatbelt, so it is prime farming area.
The Hamersley Ranges in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
The four main mountain ranges on the Western Plateau in Australia are the Hamersley Range, the MacDonnell Ranges, the Musgrave Ranges, and the Kimberley Plateau. These ranges are important for their unique geology, biodiversity, and cultural significance to Indigenous communities.
According to the CSIRO, 47.6% of Western Australia is made up of plateaux, that is, plains, hills, ranges and coastal plains in the most western region of the state. 30.4% of Western Australia is made up of sandy desert, whilst the Kimberley Ranges make up 9.9% of the state.
The most significant mountain range in Australia is the Great Dividing Range which extends from Cape York in the north of Queensland, right along the eastern coast, down to the south and tailing off at the Grampian Ranges in western Victoria. Within this long range extending thousands of kilometres are numerous, smaller named ranges. Each of the other states and the Northern Territory all have mountain ranges. Within South Australia are the Flinders and Musgrave ranges (among others), which are not part of the Great Dividing Range. The Macdonnell Ranges of central Australia are significant, as are the Kimberley Ranges of north western Australia.

Perth is located along the Swan River, and in a rich and fertile region of Western Australia. The coastline is clean, featuring many sand dunes and flat, sandy beaches, while the ocean is a deep sea-green. There is plenty of bushland and numerous beautiful National Parks in the area. Overlooking the city itself is King's Park, up on a hill. Perth is surrounded by the Perth Hills and the Darling ranges, also known as the Darling Scarp. These ranges feature upland granite and quartzite areas, as well as magnificent waterfalls.
Some of the major mountain ranges in Australasia include the Great Dividing Range in Australia, the Southern Alps in New Zealand, and the Highlands of Papua New Guinea. These mountain ranges contribute to the diverse landscapes and ecology of the region.
The Bungle Bungle range is in the Purnululu National Park, in far northwest Western Australia.
The Bungle Bungle ranges in northwest Western Australia were discovered only as recently as 1983.
The only places snow has been known to fall in Western Australia are in the Stirling Ranges, in the south, and occasionally on the Porongorup Range, also in the south. For more details and a map, see the related link.
There is no mountain range called the Hammer Slay Mountain Range in Australia.The Hamersley Range is in far north Western Australia.
There is only one state in the western half of the Australian continent, and that is Western Australia. Western Australia is, for the most part, a flat state. There are some mountains in the far southwest, and also the fascinating features of the Kimberly Ranges and the Bungle Bungles in the northwest. As well, WA has the world's largest monolith - larger than Uluru - named Mt Augustus. But on the whole, Western Australia would not be called a mountainous state. The more mountainous states are in the east.
