Although Australia is a low continent, there are a few mountain rangers there, too. The biggest is the Great Dividing Range. It stretches more than 3500 km from the north-eastern tip of Queensland, running the entire length of the eastern coastline through New South Wales, then into Victoria and turning west, before finally fading into the central plain at the Grampians in western Victoria. It consists of a complex of mountain ranges, plateaus, upland areas and escarpments. One part of the Great Dividing Range is the Australian Alps. It's highest point is Mount Kosciuszko, which is 2,228 metres high. The Snowy Mountains in New South Wales are also part of the Alps. The most famous land mark of Australia is the Uluru. It's a large sandstone rock formation in the southern part of the Northern Territory. It lies 335 km south west of the nearest large town, Alice Springs; 450 km by road. Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) and Uluru are the
