Expedition Range is a mountain range within the Central Highlands sandstone region of Queensland, Australia. Robinson Creek cuts a 100 metres deep gorge through sandstone clifflines. Many spectacular side gorges add to the appeal of the area, which is included in the Expedition National Park.
The Comet River rises on the western slopes of the range and flows in a northerly direction towards Rolleston. The Dawson Highway crosses northern parts of the Expedition Range.
[edit] Flora and fauna
The main trees and plants are eucalyptus open forests and woodlands. Cabbage Tree Palms are common along the creeks, while the lowlands contain pockets of brigalow and softwood scrubs.
The fauna of the area is similar to that of other Central Highland sandstone areas. Birds of the forest fringe are common, as are whiptail wallabies.
