The Taylor Range or Herbert Taylor Range is a mountain range on the western edge of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It was first named The Glenmorrison Range by John Oxley during his exploration of the area in January 1824. The range is an eastern spur at the southern end of the D'Aguilar Range.〔 Most of the range is covered by two protected areas, Mount Coot-tha Reserve and the most southern section of Brisbane Forest Park. Sir Samuel Griffith Drive is the only road over the range. East Ithaca Creek and West Ithaca Creek, two tributaries of Enoggera Creek drain the eastern slopes. On the western side is Gap Creek, a tributary of Moggill Creek and the suburb of Chapel Hill. Ithaca Creek was unsuccessfully mined for gold between 1894 and the 1950s. Remnants of the mining operations can be found within Brisbane Forest Park. ==Peaks== Mount Coot-tha, on which there is a lookout, botanical gardens, a planetarium and television towers, is the highest peak of the Taylor Range at 287 m. Another summit just to the north of Mount Coot-tha is Constitution Hill that rises to 258 m. Further east along the range is Enoggera Hill, located within the Enoggera Army Barracks. The range becomes a series of hills through the Brisbane locality of St Johns Wood and the suburbs of Red Hill, Spring Hill to Wickham Terrance in the Brisbane central business district.〔 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「Taylor Range」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
