Berserker Range

The Berserker Range is a mountainous region located on the eastern and northeastern boundary of the city of Rockhampton in Central Queensland, Australia.

The range is composed of a diverse group of mostly igneous rocks dating from the Devonian to Early Triassic Periods.

These masses then erode, with the deposits forming a dark grey material known as Sleipner Member.

[3] It was named by Rockhampton pioneer pastoralist Charles Archer after the Norse warrior "Baresark", who fought without armour in the Norwegian sagas.

The area was declared a timber reserve in 1940 and logged, with ironbark, white mahogany and lemon-scented gum being the main trees harvested.
