Great Dividing

The Great Dividing Range in Australia is more than just a mountain range; it's a defining feature that shapes the nation's ecosystems, agricultural practices, and settlement patterns. Great Dividing explores this multifaceted influence, revealing how its geological formation millions of years ago continues to impact Australia's natural history and human development.

One intriguing aspect is the range's role in creating diverse ecological habitats, from lush rainforests to unique riparian zones, supporting a wealth of biodiversity. Also, the rain shadow effect caused by the mountains significantly affects agricultural possibilities on either side, dictating crop selection and irrigation needs.

The book takes an interdisciplinary approach, blending geology, ecology, geography, and agricultural science to provide a comprehensive understanding. It traces the range's geological origins, examines its diverse ecosystems and their conservation, and analyzes its impact on agriculture and settlement. Through accessible language and a balance of scientific rigor with engaging prose, this book will appeal to anyone interested in Australia's landscape.

It progresses across chapters to reveal how the Great Dividing Range acts as a crucial determinant of Australia's ecological and demographic identity, highlighting the challenges of balancing development with environmental conservation.
