The Einasleigh Uplands are an interim Australian bioregion of savanna and woodland located on a large plateau in inland Queensland, Australia. ==Location and description== The uplands are an area of eroded volcanic rock on and to the west of the Atherton Tableland in the northern section of Australia's Great Dividing Range running inland as far as the town of Croydon in the southwest. The plateau is covered in grassland dotted with eucalyptus trees and cut through with ridges, gorges and lava tubes. The area has rich fertile soil. Natural features include the Great Basalt Wall of dried volcanic lava and the lava tubes of Undara Volcanic National Park. The climate is cooler than the coast with summer nights being as cool as 90 C compared with 200 on the coast. The summer high temperatures are around 350. There is a wet season between December and March. Rivers that have their source in the uplands include the Flinders River which runs northwest to the Gulf of Carpentaria along with the Palmer, Mitchell and Gilbert-Einasleigh while the Burdekin and Herbert Rivers run south-east from the tablelands to the Coral Sea coast. Urban areas include Herberton and Croydon. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Einasleigh Uplands」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
