Answer:

Explanation:

Eastern Highlands

They are situated parallel to the eastern  coast, 2000 kilometres long and are  arch-shaped. The average height of this  place is 900 metres above mean sea  level. The eastern side of the Eastern  Highlands slopes steeply whereas the  western side is not so steep. Blue  Mountain Ranges and Australian Alps,  are the important mountains of this  region. The source of the Murray and  Darling rivers originate from the  Eastern Highlands. These rivers are  important for the generation of hydro  electric power in Australia.

Western Plateau:

The Western Plateau (sometimes referred to as the Australian Shield), is Australia's largest drainage division and is composed predominantly of the remains of the ancient rock shield of Gondwana. It covers two thirds of the continent; 2,700,000 square kilometres of arid land including large parts of Western Australia, South Australia, and the Northern Territory. For comparison, it is roughly the same size as the whole of continental Europe from Poland west to Portugal. It is Australia's largest drainage division.
