Quick Summary

New England Range
New England Range Tableland in the New England Range, near Tenterfield, N.S.W., Austl.

A tableland is a broad, flat area of elevated land. These elevated, flat regions are also known as plateaus, mesas, or altiplanos. Tablelands can be found in various geographical contexts. For instance, they are a feature of the landscape in Queensland, Australia, where they are interspersed with vast inland plains. In New South Wales, Australia, tablelands form a significant part of the terrain, rising from a coastal strip and featuring elevations around 2,500 feet (760 meters).12345
