Wild and spectacular Kosciuszko National Park
This is one of the world’s great national parks and the largest in NSW, crowned by Australia’s highest mountain, Mt Kosciuszko.
Here, in the highest section of Australia’s Great Dividing range in the Snowy Mountains, you can walk through alpine herb fields, explore caves and limestone gorges, enjoy scenic drives and stay at historic huts and homesteads – all within sight of the tallest mountains in Australia.
Kosciuszko National Park ranges from just 213 metres above sea level up to 2228 metres. The alpine section of the park includes a wetland included in UNESCO’s Ramsar list, a group of wetlands internationally recognised for their ecological values.
Some of Australia’s best-known and most beautiful rivers, including the Snowy, Murray and Murrumbidgee, flow from this area. Apart from its winter role as a skiing and snowboarding paradise, the Biosphere Reserve supports wildlife such as the grey kangaroo, the red-necked wallaby, swamp wallaby and wombats.
