Australia is such a relatively low and flat continent it's really kind of ridiculous--although the Great Dividing Range has some interesting escarpment area such as the Blue Mountains area, the highest point on the Australian landmass is puny Mt. Kosciusko (7310'/2228m), a peak with a virtual road to the top. The islands near Australia and out into the Pacific, however, are often much higher and more interesting. New Zealand's icy Southern Alps, New Guinea's equatorial glaciers, and even Hawaii's towering shield volcanoes go a long way in compensating for the low Australian peaks.
