Kosciuszko National Park covers 1.5 million acres of magnificent alpine terrain.

Mount Kosciuszko journal entry: 
July 12, 2008

Overcast skies, steady wind,
accumulation of over 2 ft. of new snow

“This time it takes only a few hours to reach the top of the Australian continent.  The views are amazingly beautiful, and I feel a sense of exhilaration.  Mountaintops always do that to me.  We break for lunch behind the summit marker and hide from the cold, biting wind.”
