Шаблон:Distinguish Шаблон:Use Australian English Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox mountainThe Clarke Range, part of the Great Dividing Range, is a rainforest-covered mountain range located in North Queensland, Australia. The range is located approximately Шаблон:Convert from the Coral Sea and Шаблон:Convert west of the coastal city of Mackay. The highest points are the summits of Mount William at about Шаблон:Convert[1] Шаблон:AHD and Mount Dalrymple at Шаблон:Convert[2] Шаблон:AHD.

The range is composed of granite rocks.[3] The slopes of Clarke Range form the upper reaches of the Pioneer River valley. Broken River also rises in the range, flowing west to join the Burdekin River.[3]

An exploration party led by John Mackay were the first Europeans to cross the range on 18 May 1860.[3]

The main road over the range winds sharply and steeply and is not suitable for caravans.[4]

Birds
