Climbing Mount Kosciuszko
Standing on the highest point in the Australian continent on a cold, snowy, misty and super windy day. While the mountain is not too high when compared to the Himalayan peaks, the history and the culture of the place is pretty amazing. The peak was discovered and scaled in 1840, but for thousands of years it has been visited by The Aborigines who consider the mountain and the region sacred. The original name for more than 4,000 years was Aboriginal name “Tar-gan-gil” or“Kunama Namadgi” and twenty other Aboriginal names until the White man came in and changed it to Mt. Kosciuszko after the Polish-Lithuanian military leader. One of the seven summits mountain (highest in each continent) is popular amongst hikers and mountaineers. Did this and more during my 3-week trip to Australia in November 2019
