	Mount Kosciuszko - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mount Kosciuszko, located in the Snowy Mountains, in Kosciuszko National Park, is the highest mountain in mainland Australia.
		It was formerly spelled "Mount Kosciusko", an anglicisation; but the version "Mount Kosciuszko" was officially adopted in 1997 by the NSW Board of Geographic Names.
		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 [1].

		The two-mile Mount Zion trail is a favorite of locals who enjoy its proximity to their homes, as well as the summit’s stunning views of the jagged Olympic peaks to the west and Hood Canal to the southeast.
		The two-mile Mount Ellinor trail has been improved in recent years and is now a non-technical ascent to the summit, once its infamous (and exhilarating) snow chute has melted for the year.
		The lower Mount Ellinor trailhead is reached at five miles on FS 2419, while the upper trailhead may be accessed by driving an additional mile and a half and turning left on spur road 014 to its end.

		Mount Townsend 2,209m is Australia's second highest mountain and is situated almost directly opposite Mount Kosciuszko (Australia's highest peak) both mountains dominating the horizon from the other.
		Mt Townsend is not visited as often as Kosciuszko largely due to the fact that the tourist trail terminates at the summit of Kosciusko but is arguably a more pleasing ascent year round.
		In late October 2003 Trevor, Lee and I decided to spend a weekend tramping around the peaks of the Kosciuszko National Park which was to include both Kosciuszko and Townsend along with a handful of some other smaller peaks within the area.

	Walkabout - Mount Kosciuszko
		Mount Kosciuszko was first climbed in March 1840 by the remarkable explorer and scientist Sir Paul Edmund de Strzelecki who had arrived in Sydney only a few months earlier.
		Certainly Stewart Ryrie Jr (one of the sons of area's earliest settlers) climbed nearby Mount Townsend in February, thus narrowly missing fame.
		It is advisable to start the walk to the summit before 10.00 a.m., thus allowing most of the day to complete the trek.
