Mt Kosciuszko from Thredbo (Eagles Nest)

Kosciuszko National Park

A 13km return walk from the Eagles Nest Restaurant (at the top of the Kosciuszko Chairlift). It's a pretty straightforward forward walk to the highest point in Australia. The track is easy to find and follow. It's a relatively general incline to the top, only moderate fitness required.
