The Liverpool Range is a mountain range and a lava-field province in New South Wales, Australia.

The eastern peaks of the range were the traditional territory of the

Wonnarua people.^[1]

Geography

The Liverpool Range starts from the

Warrumbungle Range

The Liverpool Range has a reputation as a breeding ground for severe summer thunderstorms.^[citation needed] The peaks of the range generally experience several snowfalls each winter.

History

The Liverpool Range was named after

Robert Banks Jenkinson, 2nd Earl of Liverpool, who was the prime minister of the United Kingdom

at the time of its exploration by Europeans. The higher parts of the Liverpool Range reach approximately 1,300 metres (4,300 ft) above sea level, and the range formed a significant barrier to the expansion of settlement in the early period of British settlement in New South Wales.

The first route across the range was

Main Northern railway line from Sydney to the Queensland border crosses under this pass via the Ardglen Tunnel

The southern slopes of the Liverpool Range are drained by the headwaters of the

Peel River and the Mooki River. The Talbragar River and the Coolaburragundy River also rise on the range and flow south-west, joining near the town of Dunedoo.^[2]
