Highest point[edit]

Does anybody have an authoritative reference for the highest point in the Mount Lofty Ranges? Perhaps what we really need is a well-defined (geological?) boundary between the Mount Lofty Ranges and the Flinders Ranges. The internet seems not to be useful for the purpose. I could find ample evidence that Mount Bryan is taller than Mount Lofty, but conflicting pages as to which is the highest in the Mount Lofty Ranges. This pages says the Mount Lofty Ranges extend "...northward to meet the Flinders Ranges north of Burra" which is exactly where Mount Bryan is. --Scott Davis Talk 14:18, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Scott, I just re-wrote the article before reading the talk page, and have addressed exactly that situation, heh. Bascially everything east of the Clare-Wilmington road are the Mount Lofty Ranges; the Flinders are to the west and north. It's a grey area around Orroroo, and I'd have to go back to my geology studies to confirm, but Mount Bryan is unquestionably part of the Mount Lofty Ranges, and the highest point. I've split the article into two parts to reflect the fact that when most locals talk about the "Mount Lofty Ranges" they mean the South Mount Lofty Ranges. I'm not sure that that's the best way to do it, but it'll have to do for now. Cheers! Itsonlyme 22:07, 16 April 2006 (UTC) (Certainly the terminology South and North MLR is valid and in usage)[reply]
(There doesn't really seem to be a well-defined geological boundary between the two ranges. Both are made up of generally the same strata, and outcrops of the same formation are to be found everywhere: e.g. the cliffs at Hallett Cove are the Brachina Formation, also to be found as far north as Leigh Creek. Perhaps we should just draw the north-western edge of the Mt Lofty Ranges at the Campbell Range near Jamestown and the Pekina Range near Orroroo. Not that anybody cares, I'm sure.)
