Hervey Range is a rural locality split between
the City of Townsville and the Charters Towers
Region, Queensland, Australia.
As the name Hervey Range suggests, the
locality includes the Hervey mountain range.
The split between the two local government
areas roughly follows the ridge line with the
Townsville City Council responsible for the
coastal (eastern) side of the locality and
Charters Towers Regional Council responsible
for the inland (western) side of the locality.
Apart from the
ridge itself, the land on the Townsville side is
generally much lower (50–100 metres
above sea level) compared with the higher land
on the Charters Towers side (550–600 metres
about sea level).
