Australia's eastern and southeastern seaboard is characterised by the highest mountains in Australia. The Great Dividing Range extends from the eastern coast of far north Queensland right down the eastern seaboard to Victoria in the south, before turning west into Western Victoria. The greatest concentration of high mountains is found in southeastern New South Wales and eastern Victoria.
Tasmania is also a rugged and mountainous state.

Why is Australia's highest mountain not even half the height of the highest peaks on other continents?
The older mountains are, the more they will have eroded. Australia is the Earth's oldest continent, so its mountains have had more time to erode than most other mountains have. Many other mountains ranges, including the Himalayas, are much younger than those in Australia, so they have not eroded nearly as much as Australia's mountains, and are therefore higher.
Is the Snowy Mountains a State and National Park?
