Mt. Kosciuszko the quick and easy way - also not the highest point in Austraila!

great video, I'd totally forgotten about Strzelecki naming it and all that history, seems a little odd these days. Glad I stumbled on your channel, good luck with it, I know it's a lot of work. Subscribed ✌🏻

Interesting bit of history about the naming, thanks for sharing! Entertaining video to watch, too.

Thanks! It is somewhat strange that it's named after a thing due to how it looks - with the thing being named after a person... There's also a Mt. Kosciusko (no Z, although ours didn't either until 1997) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Kosciusko_(Antarctica) in Antarctica that maybe I should have mentioned. Though that's named after Captain Henry M. Kosciusko of the US Navy - maybe he's some distant relative of Tadeusz? :P

Thanks for this video - definitely will help when I plan my hike up there. Which season would you recommend for this hike up - was it too hot when you did it in summer?

Not this time :)

nice video mate. Thanks for sharing the history of the name, i had wrongly assumed it was an aboriginal word.

[@DropTableAdventures]

Thanks! Speaking of such, Thredbo is named after an Aboriginal word, and I originally thought that was named after a person...

Where did you park your car? Also if i want to hike the mountain in winter is there any rental for boots and snowshoes? Thanks

[@DropTableAdventures]

For the chairlift up Kosciusko? We just parked in Thredbo, there's a big car park just down Friday Drive. The ski rental shop at Thredbo claims to have snow shoes for rental: www.thredbo.com.au/ski-snowboard-rental/ - maybe give them a call to confirm.
