Mount Kosciuszko is a mountain located in the Snowy Mountains in Kosciuszko National Park (Australia).
With a height of 2,228 metres (7,310 ft) above sea level, it is the highest mountain in Australia.
It was named by the Polish explorer Count Paul Edmund Strzelecki in 1840, in honour of the
Polish national hero and hero of the American Revolutionary War General Tadeusz Kosciuszko,
because of its perceived resemblance to the Kosciuszko Mound in Krakow.
