Kosciuszko National Park Turns Eighty

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the establishment of Kosciusko State Park, now known as Kosciuszko National Park which protects many unique Australian ecosystems. At 690,000ha, Kosciuszko is the largest national park in NSW.

It attracts over 2.1 million visitors each year. A popular drawcard for the Snowy Mountains, the park allows people to experience alpine landscapes, fascinating limestone caves, wildflower meadows, and expansive mountain scenery.

It also has a rich natural and cultural history – and we want to show it all to you! Our 5-day Kosciuszko National Park pack-free guided walk showcases the very best of Snowy Mountains.

You’ll traverse well-marked trails that provide spectacular views and diverse landscapes. From lush valleys to rocky ridges, each day offers a unique experience that highlights the natural beauty of this extraordinary national park and of course you’ll hike to the top of the Australia’s highest mainland mountain, Kosciuszko.

The mountains are a traditional gathering place for many Aboriginal groups that travelled to the area for trade and ceremony. There are over 1,000 recorded archaeological sites in the park.

The sites include stone arrangements, bora rings, scar trees and axe grinding grooves that demonstrate use of the land by Aboriginal people for over 9000 years so come and join us for a hike and see what all the fuss is about! Socialise with us on Facebook
