I can highly recommend Mt. Bartle Frere. Be sure to spend some time on the Russel River, either white water rafting or the river walks. I went kayaking with a rafting tour. The water is so pure you will never experience anything like it. After a day in & on the river I never felt so clean in my life.

Actually Australia was connected to India and Antartica, in the supercontinent Gondwandaland. Please be factual.

[@artistjoh]

I have been to the top of Mt Kosciusko in mid summer. The alpine meadows are extraordinarily beautiful. There were patches of snow in the places that get no sun, including the snow melt that feeds the headwaters of the Snowy River. The light is extraordinary. Australia is famous for its cobalt blue skies due to a combination of clean air and the vapors from Eucalyptus trees that causes incredible blues to be seen in the surrounding mountains. It gets dismissed as not being hugely high, but the Australian Alps have a unique beauty that is well worth experiencing. It should be noted that Kosiusko was a war hero during the American Revolution, as well as a war hero in Poland, Belarus. and Lithuania. While the mountain is named after the shape of a monument, that monument was honoring Kosciusko, the man and war hero. He fortified West Point, where his stone walls still survive, and there is a statue of him there as well as statues of him in many American cities, including a large equestrian one in Chicago. The US has a county, a city, a suburb, an island, and many streets named after him, but not a mountain. I should also point out that the tallest mountain in Queensland has several extraordinary facts about it. For a start it rises very steeply from sea level, so of all the Australian mountains it is the one that gives the greatest impression of height. Secondly, it is named after Sir Henry Bartle Frere. He is less well known these days, but as a colonial Governor in India he became popular for defending the use of Indian languages, establishing the Indian postal service, and founding colleges of tertiary education. In Africa he was instrumental in ending the slave trade. The phrase "gun boat diplomacy" originates from his strong arm tactics in forcing the Sultan of Zanzibar to outlaw the slave trade and forbid the export of slaves under the guise of "negotiating a treaty" while British gun boats stood off the harbor with the implied threat to bombard the harbor and city, and Sultan's palace. The Sultan of Zanzibar was the largest exporter of slaves at the time, and despite the fixation by many on the American slave industry, most of the slaves were being exported to the Middle East. He was instrumental in unifying South Africa, but his policies eventually lead to the Boer War. Despite that, he was immensely popular throughout the British Empire, and while he never came to Australia, he was much admired by Australians. I like that the mountain is named after the guy who stamped out the slave trade because that is what he was most famous for. His name was given to such a significant mountain, partly because it recognized his important role in colonial service, but also because the mountain is tropical, has incredible rainfall, covered in rainforest, and therefore is much like mountains in India that he loved. It should be noted that while it is not particularly significant for spiders in my experience, the greatest danger there are black snakes. The foothills of the mountain are also home to the Hercules Moth which has a confirmed width of 280mm (11 inches) and the largest wings of any insect with an area of over 300 sq cm (over 46 sq inches) There was a female captured in 1948 by the postmaster in Innisfail, that had a wing span of 360mm 14 ½ inches but because it was a postmaster and reported in newspapers and not a scientist doing the measuring, reporting in a scientific jopurnal, this is considered "unconfirmed." If confirmed it would have made the Hercules the largest moth in the world because the only other contender, the Atlas Moth of South East Asia only grows to 300mm (12 inches).

[@wnnn2268]

you should be worried about browns not blacks

[@artistjoh]

@@wnnn2268 And there are taipans, and death adders, etc, as well as carpet snakes. However, I grew up in that area, and red belly black snakes are the ones that are very common there. The more dangerous snakes become common once you get into the drier country west of Ravenshoe and Herberton. But in the rainforest mountain terrain, black snakes are everywhere and are extremely common.

[@Dobuan75]

Fascinating information there! Thank you for taking the time to write that. I too love the Southern Alps in summer. It is my magic place where I feel most at peace in this part of the world. Just inside the National Park on the road from Jindabyne lies a beautiful little camping park with cabins where wombats and roos keep one company. From there it’s a short drive up to Charlotte’S Pass and the track to Kosciusko with stunning vistas over the Snowy River. I will return soon, but now I’m equally inspired to visit Mount Frere and equally Zanzibar thanks to your information.

[@antysmith606]

The word you are after regarding Mt Bartle Frere’s very high appearance is “prominence”. This can be scientifically calculated and Wikipedia lists the prominences of many mountains around the world to give a good indication of what mountains are more visually impressive than others.

Nobody actually ‘hikes’ to the top of Mt Kosciuszko as it’s a pleasant stroll from the Eagles Nest cafe and lookout.

Summited Mount Kosciuszko when I was about 13 years old with my scout troop, knowing it was mainland Australia's highest point I was expecting a tough walk, but the footpath all the way to the top actually made it a pretty easy afternoon stroll. It was definitely worth it though, the views from the top are beautiful and it was my first time seeing snow so that was amazing. I'd definitely recommend visiting if you're ever in Australia, even if it quite far from the big cities.

[@flynneaston6264]

Mt Zeil is very much still climbable. I did it last year just before the wilderness park closed but we thought it was already closed. The only difference it makes is the access is a little bit harder but the road up to the place is still there and you can do it off the end of the Larapinta which is what me and my Dad did. So no Mt Zeil is still a going matter there was never a track anyway.

I've climbed to the top of Mt Kosciuszko. Pretty easy to do as you can get a chair lift up from the bottom of the mountain. You just have to walk the last few kilometres to the summit. I did it the middle of summer & I was surprised at just how much cooler it was up there. I had a warm top in my backpack as a just in case & pulled it out as soon as I got off the chair lift. Climbed is a bit of a stretch as it was very much just a walk.

[@JustinWatson23]

Its about 13km return so a nice walk, but most of Australias peaks are just a day walk. It and Mt Bogong are probably the most accessible. Bimberi is a bit of a pain, can't walk it in a day from the ACT side, but from the NSW side its doable. The remote outback ones are hard, because access is hard.

Would recommend visiting Jervis Bay, it’s absolutely stunning and you can also visit Hyams Beach-which has the whitest sand in the world. I did Mt Ossa as part of the overland track in Tassie-it’s a side track off the main trail and doable. I left my backpack below and it was raided by Currawongs-they can open zippers, smart birds. I could see them in my bag from the peak too and I was far up and couldn’t do anything-funny to look back on but also something to watch out for.

[@keithwagg4112]

[@nickhiscock8948]

The Antarctic Claims date from before World War 2 and also pre date the current Antarctic Treaty that governs the use of Antarctica today. However the Antarctic Treaty expires in 2050 and if renewed, extended or replaced with a different treaty. The original pre World War 2 claims will apply which would mean the US, China and Russia would need to remove there bases there or negotiate a deal with one or multiples of the countries with land claims in Antarctica

It's a bit of a shame it's the tallest peak, the view is nice enough but there's so many better peaks along the Main Range and in Vic. I've also done the climb up Bogong, I went up Staircase Spur and down Eskdale Spur. The walk up Bogong feels better because you actually work for it but the views off the Bogong West Peak is better than the main peak. If you're ever out climbing Bogong, I highly recommend trying to get out to Feathertop as well. Probably the most iconic mountain in Victoria, maybe even Australia if you exclude Kozzie

Although it was far from being a K2 climb , it was fairly steep and recommended not for people with a bad heart. Not knowing any better I turned up at lunch time and climbed it in 36 Celsius and without taking any water 😊, a mistake you would only make once😂. The view from the top was pretty good, they had like a small concrete mound up the top on the centre of the rock and you signed it . It’s a pity the Aboriginal’s did not open it up to climbing and charge a fee for it to help out the locals . But that’s the way the cookie crumbles.

[@pavlovsdogman]

South Australia is generally a flat, dry and sparse place but when I climbed Mt Lofty which means drove as it's only accessible by vehicle I was surprised by its height and views! (3rd highest peak in SA) I decided to do the second highest next Mt Bryan which is about 3 hours north in the Clare valley, as opposed to Mt Lofty which was covered in lush green eucalyptus trees and thick bush full of wildlife, Mt Bryan was a barren mountain with rocky outcrops and giant boulders and very little vegetation or trees? It has a winding path to the summit and is quite tiring? Once at the summit its a beautiful 365 degree view but there is no shelter and very little wind breaks so on windy and rainy days you need to get back down quick! Mt Woodroffe is the highest and final peak I climbed and it's literally the most remote place I've ever been to! It's in the driest, rocky desert landscape you could imagine! In summer it's unbearably hot and there's no water anywhere plus the nearest town is hours and hours away so safety is paramount! Luckily it's a fairly easy climb all things considered? I actually loved the summit and wanted to stay there camping a few days but apparently that's not allowed? The views were 365 but it was all desert of course!. Only try it in winter, take a lot of water, don't tell the park rangers, indigenous people or locals because they will likely refuse you access!.

Australia's most striking feature as a continent is its flatness. Its extraordinary, incomparable, next level flatness. As an illustration of how flat Australia is I was once told the story of a Polish mountain climber who "summitted" the top 7 peaks in Australia. In one day. Walking. Slowly. Without so much as a walking pole. Maybe apocryphal. The detail about him being Polish and the fact Mt Kosciousko is named for a Pole suggest some factual contamination. So probably apocryphal. I am personally pretty acrophobic and I had no trouble "climbing" mounts Kosciousko & Ossa as well as bagging several other peaks in Tasmania. Rarely has it involved much more than the equivalent of climbing stairs.

Shame to hear about Mt Zeil, although I wouldn't say it's impossible to access. You could theoretically still follow a route from the south that remains within the national park. Also its possible the new owners of the wilderness park may allow people to pass through with permission. As for Mount Woodroffe, it's currently impossible to visit, since the APY lands council has banned all tourism until further notice (I couldn't find any reason for this decision beyond the original closure for Covid).
