Whilst Australia is generally a flat country, it does have numerous mountain ranges, but they do not compare in height to the mountain ranges of many of the other continents. The highest peak in Australia, Mt Kosciuszko, is only 2228m high.
Other significant mountains of the Australian Alps include Mt Townsend, Mt Buller, Mt Buffalo and Mt Bogong. North Queensland has a number of significant mountains, such as Bartle Frere. There are too many mountains in Australia, but other notable peaks of include Mt Feathertop, Cradle Mountain, Mt Ossa, Mt Tywnam, Federation Peak (Australia's tallest cliff face at 600m vertically), Legges Tor, Frenchman's Cap, Mt Hotham, Barn Bluff, Mt Geryon.
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.
The highest mountain on Australian territory is found on Heard Island, one of Australia's offshore territories. It is Mawson Peak, with an elevation of 2,745 m (9,006ft). This is nowhere near the mainland.
