IMAGINE saying you’ve climbed one of the world’s seven summits, sounds like a serious feat right? Wrong. So why aren’t many Aussies doing it?
Mt Kosciuszko is Australia’s highest mountain, one of the seven highest summits on the world’s seven continents, and reaching the top is relatively ... easy.
Yet according to a recent Newspoll survey, almost 9 out of 10 (87 per cent) Aussies have never ventured to the top of our highest peak.

Standing at 2228 metres, the best bit about Mt Kozzie, as the locals call it, is the relative ease with which you can reach the top.
A chairlift does the hard work for you, leaving the ski resort village of Thredbo in NSW, it scales the walk’s steepest parts leaving you with just a six kilometre walk to the finish.
Taking around four to five hours of moderate paced walking it winds past some of Australia’s famous historical sights including the Snowy River, Seaman’s Hut and Rawson Pass with incredible views over the Australian Alps.

Open during the warmer months of the year between September and May you can either do it on your own or join a guided tour.
A feat far easier to attain than in other parts of the world, you’ll be left with a sense of achievement saying you’ve climbed Australia’s highest mountain. We’ll leave the stories of difficulty up to you.
Take a sense of national pride and do it for Australia. Source: Supplied
