The Great Dividing Range streches over a distance of approximately 3,500 kms along the east coast of Australia.
In the north it begins at Dauan Island off the northeastern tip of Queensland and runs down to the Grampians in western Victoria.
The width of the Great Dividing Range varies from approximately 160 kms (100 miles) to over 300 km (186 miles).

| ⓘ Szmikite Formula: MnSO4 · H2O Description: "Szmikite is often in contact with the granite matrix. It forms white to very pale pink, opaque globular masses, which resemble billowing cumulus clouds under the microscope, although they tend to be dull and earthy appearance. Outlines of crystal faces seen on the surfaces of the roughly spherical aggregates making up the crusts may represent an earlier more hydrated sulphate, such as jokokuite. On some specimens, aggregates of well-formed tabular monoclinic crystals up to about 50 micron across can be detected by SEM."
