The section of the Great Dividing Range between the Ramshead Range and Dicky Cooper Bogong in the Snowy Mountains is known as the Main Range. It can also be used more generally for the peaks (not necessarily on the Great Dividing Range) on or on short spurs off the range. It contains many of the highest peaks in mainland Australia. Some peaks on the Main Range include (from the south):

• The Ramsheads
• Mount Kosciuszko
• Muellers Peak
• Mount Townsend, Mount Alice Rawson and Abbotts Peak (on Abbotts Ridge)
• Mount Northcote, Mount Clarke and Mount Lee
• Carruthers Peak
• Mount Twynam and Little Twynam
• Mount Anton and Mount Anderson
• Mount Tate
• Dicky Cooper Bogong
