The range marks the southern extent of the Scenic Rim. The
Bar Mountain massif is the highest point on the range, rising to above sea level. To the west lies
McPherson Range and Levers Plateau, in the north is the
Lamington Plateau with the
Nightcap Range extending around the southern parts of the caldera rim, south east of the Tweed Range. Most of the range is covered by rainforest and protected within the
Border Ranges National Park, part of the
Gondwana Rainforests of Australia and Mebbin State Forest. The long Tweed Range Scenic Drive is a road through the park and along the range that provides access to lookouts over the Tweed Valley, including The Pinnacle Lookout and Blackbutts Lookout. In the east, the
catchments of
Byrrill Creek,
Oxley River and
Rous River, tributaries of the
Tweed River drain the steep valley slopes. In the west, a series of creeks, among them Brindle Creek, flow into the
Richmond River. ==See also==
