The Seven Summits - Kosciuszko

Australia has no glaciated mountains. Kosciuszko, its highest peak, is a high moorland summit that offers little Mountaineering interest for hardcore Climbers. But it is a popular Hiking destination among Hiking and Mountaineering enthusiasts. It is so small that had it not been the highest summit in Australia, then probably not a lot of Mountaineers would have heard from it.

In the summer, there are colorful flowers, like buttercups and forget-me-nots.
