Belvidere Range


The Belvidere Range is a mountain range of the Northern Mount Lofty Ranges in South Australia.
The range was named in 1841 by early geologist/explorer Johannes Menge because he thought the highest point commanded a beautiful view .
The range commences in the south at Nain and Greenock, where it is also known as the Nain Range, and rises almost exactly northwards to end near Black Springs.
The Hundred of Belvidere and Belvidere Mine south east of Kapunda township beside a crossing of the River Light, were likely named for the Belvidere Range which overlooks the mine and the west of the hundred.
