Mount Kosciuszko: Mt. Kosciusko's gentle, grassy summit dome.

Mount Townsend: Mount Townsend, here seen from Mount Kosciusko, is the second highest peak in Australia but is arguably a more interesting and dominant peak.

Mount Bogong: The summit of Mount Bogong is marked by a giant beehive-shaped cairn--when one is there in an icy white-out, that is all you get in your picture.

Bimberi Peak: The broad dome of Bimberi Peak, above the fields and forests near the Oldfields Hut.
