The Western Plateau
The Western Plateau is, broadly, the ancient continental-core rock, or “shield,” of western Australia. Some of the exposed strata exceed 3 billion years old. Subsidiary tablelands, separated by basins, compose the region, including the Kimberley, Arnhemland and Yilgarn plateaus. The Kimberley Plateau – often referred to simply as “the Kimberleys” – has striking sandstone and basalt terrain of domes and canyons in Australia’s northwestern corner. You can soak up Kimberley scenery – and plenty of wilderness – at numerous national parks and reserves. Purnululu National Park, for example, is renowned for the banded, hive-shaped sandstone buttes of the Bungle Bungle Range.
Eastern Highland Plateaus
Australia’s highest country lies in the Great Dividing Range that fronts its eastern coast from the Cape York Peninsula to Victoria. While some of the range manifests as peaks and sharp ridges, much of it is elevated, stream-dissected tableland. Sheets of basalt underlie some of these highlands, such as the Atherton and Northern tablelands and the Darling Downs. Others, such as the Southern Tablelands, stem from faulting. The Blue Mountains of New South Wales, a recreational getaway for Sydney residents and visitors, represent the escarpment of a sandstone plateau. Explore the scarp’s castellated rock formations – including the famous Three Sisters, a gang of knobby pinnacles – in the seven national parks making up the Greater Blue Mountains Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Some of Australia’s finest remaining tracts of temperate rainforest cloak portions of these Great Dividing Range plateaus, as on the New England Tablelands in New England National Park and the namesake plateau of Barrington Tops National Park.
