	Mount Kosciuszko - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mount Kosciuszko, located in the Snowy Mountains, in Kosciuszko National Park, is the highest mountain in mainland Australia.
		Various measurements of the peak originally called by that name showed it to be slightly lower than its neighbour, Mount Townsend, and the names were thereupon transposed by the New South Wales Lands Department, so that Mount Kosciusko still remains the highest peak of Australia, and Mount Townsend ranks as second.
		Officially the height of Mount Kosciusko is now stated as 7328 feet[2] although still popularly given as 7310 feet or 2228 metres, including by Geoscience Australia [3].
