Gambage, R. H., The Mountains of Eastern Australia and 

 their effect on the Native Vegetation. (Journ. and Proc. 

 Roy. Soc. New South Wales. XLVITI. p. 267-280. 1914.) 



A study of the topography of Eastern Australia and of the 

 distribution of the flora along and on each side of the mountain 

 ränge which forms the Main Divide, serves to show that two 

 classes of climate, moist and dry, produced on each side of this 

 mountains chain, are not so much the result of the position of the 

 actual water-parting tableland as that the ocean face of the plateau 

 is fairly high and steep and at no great distance inland. The effect 

 of the ränge in the south is to create three climates, a humid and 

 a dry one on the east and west sides respectively, and a cold one 

 on the summit which acts as a barrier between two floras which 

 would otherwise commingle at lower levels. 



In Queensland a generally lower summit of the plateau and 

 an increase in temperature owing to the more northerly position of 

 the ränge, permit the western or dry influence to cross the moun- 

 tains at various places and allow many interior types of plant to 

 thrive on the eastern watershed, while moisture-loving or coastal
