Tallest mountain in mainland Oceania, and featured as such on the original Seven Summits list. As climbing the Kosciuszko is a rather trivial challenge compared to the other continental summits, the Puncak Jaya on New Guinea is a taller and more challenging peak in Oceania, although the fact that Puncak Jaya is in Indonesia has always led to the question on what's the seventh summit. However, the walking track to the summit is always open, and is doable.
Mount Kościuszko is the highest mountain of mainland Australia, at 2,228 metres (7,310 ft) above sea level. It is located on the Main Range of the Snowy Mountains in Kościuszko National Park, a part of the Australian Alps National Parks and Reserves, in New South Wales, and is located west of Crackenback and close to Jindabyne, near the border with Victoria. Mount Kościuszko is ranked 35th by topographic isolation.

This lookout overlooks everything below. Once you get here, you're on the highest point on the Australian mainland. It's quite a trek out to get here, but the views are worth the long trek, and is well earned. And although this track is rather easy to do when compared to other mountains given the low altitude, height does not define natural beauty.
Australia's highest bell at 2037m in elevation. Only about 200m in altitude till the peak of the mountain.
Enjoy the fine views, just before the rigorous summit walk upcoming. Snow can be seen here in the colder six months, but even in the warmer six months, there's no denying the views here.
