Mount Kosciuszko Mount Kosciusko's gentle, grassy summit dome (1993-10-17).	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 (1993-10-17).
Rams Head North A nice side-trip after doing Kozzie (Australian nickname for its highest point); easiest route up is to the left of and behind the boulder pile, going in from the Kozzie walkway; the size of this boulder pile (right image) is shown by the size of my son, Geoffrey, in the left image (2015-03-17).

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 (1993-10-20).
