Most of the population of Australia settled near the Great Dividing Range. There is more rainfall on the eastern side of the Great Dividing Range, and just a little inland, and this is also where the most volcanic soil is, making for a soil rich in minerals. This land is ideal for farming, which enabled the early settlers to become self-sufficient reasonably early in the nation's settlement.
