It stands tall at a height of 2,228m(2.228km) which is the mainlands of Australia. It is a part of the beautiful Australian Alpine National Park and Reserve. Paweł Edmund Strzelecki, who was a Polish Explorer, named Mt. Kosciuszko. The mountain resembled Tadeusz Kościuszko’s mound back in Poland, so it was named after him.

They can even find unique animals like burramys on their way. The National park is also famous for being a ski destination among the travellers.
