Although not relatively as high as Mount Everest, Mt Kosciuszko is still one to complete once in your life. It rises 2,228 meters above sea level, and once you've reached the top, you will be atop Australia's highest peak. There are two options to getting there:

Starting at Thredbo – 13km return, 4-5 hours

Starting at Charlottes Pass – 18.6km, 6-8 hours

Both offer spectacular views of the alpine region and it’s best to endure once the snow has melted between December to March. It is crucial to check the weather before heading off, as the conditions can change on the mountains without a moment's notice. Pack lots of snacks, water, and different layers of clothes as you never know what to expect on the top.
