Summary This book tells the story of one of Australia's natural wonders, Kosciuszko National Park. A National Heritage-listed treasure, the park is the home of the mainland's highest mountains, past glaciation sites, limestone caves, fields of summer wildflowers and alpine animals and plants found nowhere else on Earth. It is the headwater catchments of the Murray, Murrumbidgee and Snowy Rivers. It is much loved by more than 2 million visitors annually who enjoy its natural and cultural history, its snowfields, walking, riding and sightseeing.
