Southern Tablelands of New South Wales, Australia, consist mainly of rolling savanna country suitable for sheep and cattle. The frosty climate and rich, red soil at altitudes between 2,300 feet and 4,000 feet (750 and 1,220 meters) also favor growing cherries, pears, and apples. The tablelands are bounded by the Abercrombie River on the north, the upper Shoalhaven River on the east, the Snowy Mountains on the south, and the Riverina Plains on the west.
