Good morning!
The highest mountain in Australia is Mount Kosciuszko 2,228m (7310ft)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Kosciuszko
Like many of Australia's highest peaks, Mount Kosciuszko is not particularly difficult to climb. There is a road to Charlotte Pass, from which it is a nine kilometre walk up a path to the summit. Anybody with a modest level of fitness should be able to climb it. Until 1976 the road was open to motor vehicles and it was possible to drive close to the summit.
The peak may also be approached from Thredbo, which is a slightly longer but not very difficult walk and is supported by a chairlift ride year round. From the top of the chairlift there is a raised walkway to protect the native vegetation. Kosciuszko National Park is also the location of the closest downhill ski slopes to Canberra and Sydney, containing the Thredbo and Perisher Blue ski resorts. Mount Kosciuszko may have been ascended by Indigenous Australians long before the first recorded ascent by Europeans.
