context_page_description: The Taylor Range or Herbert Taylor Range is a mountain range on the western edge of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It was first named The Glenmorrison Range by John Oxley during his exploration of the area in January 1824. In 1828, the colonial botanist Charles Fraser, whilst looking at the range from the Ipswich area, noted the bearings as Sir Herbert Taylor’s Range from which the current name derived.
  The range is an eastern spur at the southern end of the D'Aguilar Range. The section of the range north of Enoggera Creek includes the Keperra Bushland, Enoggera Military Area and the Ashgrove Golf Club golf course. Most of the range south of Enoggera Creek is covered by the protected area of Mt Coot-tha Reserve. The two sections of the range separate at Enoggera Reservoir and circle the crater shaped suburb of The Gap like the claws of a crab, leaving a narrow entrance via Waterworks Road from the east.
  The Enoggera side of the range is bound on the north by the upper end of the Kedron Brook catchment area which includes the tributary of Cedar Creek.
context_section_description: Mount Coot-tha, on which there is a lookout, botanical gardens, a planetarium and television towers, is the highest peak of the Taylor Range at 287 m.
  Another summit just to the north of Mount Coot-tha is Constitution Hill that rises to 258 m.
  Further east along the range is Enoggera Hill, located within the Enoggera Army Barracks. The range becomes a series of hills through the Brisbane locality of St Johns Wood and the suburbs of Red Hill, Spring Hill to Wickham Terrace in the Brisbane central business district.
