Abstract
Our paper makes no claims regarding the general stability of the Great Divide but asserts that locally, the divide has migrated. Such a change is not surprising given a series of large Pliocene to Pleistocene volcanic eruptions on, or immediately next to, the drainage divide. There are many examples elsewhere of rivers being diverted from their original course by basalt flows (e.g. Bouchard et al. 1998; Taylor & Gentle 2002; Brown 2006; Whitehead et al. 2007). We will address each of the points Nott (2014) made, under the same headings that he used.
