What is Everard Ranges?
{{coord|27|06|46|S|132|31|45|E|region:SA_type:mountain_source:dewiki|display=title}} The '''Everard Ranges''' is a [[mountain range]] in northern [[South Australia]]. It consists of low rounded [[granite]] hills, topped with bare rock. The rock is from the [[Palaeocene]] period, between 20 and 60 million years ago. The range is segmented, with several [[Inselberg|monoliths]] and [[bornhardt]]s separated from the hills by valleys. The valleys are filled with [[Scrubland|scrub]], and the range is surrounded by [[Tertiary]] [[plains]]. The plains around it are about 550&nbsp;metres above sea level. The Everard Ranges are part of the traditional [[homeland]] of the [[Yankunytjatjara]] people. However, today most of the people living in and around the area are [[Pitjantjatjara people|Pitjantjatjara]]. There are several [[cave]]s and overhangs with [[Aboriginal art|Aboriginal]] [[Rock art|rock paintings]]. The community of [[Mimili, South Australia|Mimili]] is located in the east of the range, about 22&nbsp;km east of the centre. The Everard Ranges were named by [[Ernest Giles]] after [[Mimili, South Australia|Everard Park]], a large [[cattle]] [[Station (agriculture)|station]] that covered the eastern part of the range (it is now the community of Mimili). ==Other websites== *[http://www.nrm.gov.au/funding/approved/pre-2008/sa/alwi/2006-04.html Caring for country in South Australia's Everard Ranges] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140212005936/http://www.nrm.gov.au/funding/approved/pre-2008/sa/alwi/2006-04.html |date=2014-02-12 }} [[Category:Mountain ranges of Australia]] [[Category:Mountains of South Australia]] {{geo-stub}}
