Australian Snowy Mountains
The Snowy Mountains have always drawn people strongly. There is a passion for this amazing part of the country, with its distinct seasons of fresh summer air and winter snow across an expansive mountain landscape. A land of spiritual connection for the indigenous culture for tens of thousands of years, the Alps also holds a special place as the once province of European graziers in the mid 19th century. Today it’s a significant tourism destination that attracts huge numbers of visitors each year for recreation and relaxation activities and to explore the rich history and landscape. The region is alive in the summer months with the staging of many major events and festivals or you can even catch a sheep sale or country show. The area is also the perfect base for a natural adventure or to enjoy activities in a spectacular mountain environment.
Mount Kosciuszko is a mountain located in the Snowy Mountains in Kosciuszko National Park. With a height of 2,228 metres (7,310 ft) above sea level, it is the highest mountain in Australia (not including its external territories). It was named by the Polish explorer Count Paul Edmund Strzelecki on 12th of March in 1840, in honour of the Polish national hero and hero of the American Revolutionary War General Tadeusz Kościuszko, because of its perceived resemblance to the Kościuszko Mound in Krakow.
