The Australian Alps refer to a specific mountain range in southeastern Australia, while "mountains" is a general term used to describe landforms that rise prominently above their surroundings. The Australian Alps contain the highest peaks on the Australian continent and have a unique alpine ecology due to their elevation and climate.

In what continent are the Australian Alps located?

The Australian Alps are, of course, in the continent of Australia. They are the highest mountains in Australia's Great Dividing Range, and are located in the continent's southeast. They incorporate a number of national parks, and are probably best colloquially known as the "Snowy Mountains".Although they are quite small compared to the various Alps in Europe (the highest peak is Mt Kosciuszko, at 2228m), these mountains are well covered in snow during winter, and attract many tourists seeking snow sports.
