The Blue Mountains in NSW are not part of the Great Dividing Range. As written earlier, the GDR seperates the western flowing rivers from the eastern. All rivers in the Blue mountains, and indeed even some of those west of the Blue Mountains flow to the east.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.78.228.114 (talk • contribs) .

You seem to be referring to the watershed line or demarcation; however, the GDR is not just this line, but the surrounding mountain ranges as well. By definition, there will be both east- and west-flowing rivers emanating from these ranges. The Blue Mountains are quite commonly and unproblematically included as a range within the GDR.--cjllw | TALK 08:39, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
