McPherson Range
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The McPherson Range is an extensive mountain range, a spur of the Great Dividing Range, heading in an easterly direction from near Wallangarra to the Pacific Ocean coatline. It forms part of the Scenic Rim on the border between the states of New South Wales and Queensland. Wilson's Peak is considered to be the intersection of the Great Divide and the McPherson Range.
The range is an area of significant scenic beauty and contains a multitude of National Parks, including Mount Barney National Park, Border Ranges National Park and Lamington National Park among many others, many of which possess World Heritage area listing.
The Brisbane-Sydney railway line and the Lions Road passes over the range at Richmond Gap, as does the Mount Lindesay Highway and the Nerang-Murwillumbah Road.
