Description of Kosciuszko National Park
One of the world's great national parks, home to the highest mountains in
Australia
, the NSW ski fields and the famous Snowy River. There are endless opportunities for summer walks and winter snow sports, and a teeming variety of native wildlife.
Snow sports are the big attractions in winter, but in warmer months you can admire the alpine wildflowers, visit historic homesteads on the treeless plains in the north of the park, or explore Yarrangobilly Caves and swim in the thermal pool.
