Kosciuszko is the largest and one of the most important national parks in Australia. It covers over 670,000 hectares and contains Australias highest peak, Mount Kosciuszko for which it is named, and Cabramurra the highest town in Australia. Its borders contain a mix of rugged mountains and wilderness, characterised by an alpine climate, which makes it popular with recreational skiers and bushwalkers.
The park is located in the southeastern corner of New South Wales, 354 km southwest of Sydney, and is contiguous with the Alpine National Park in Victoria to the south, and the Namadgi National Park in the Australian Capital Territory to the north east. The larger towns of Cooma, Tumut and Jindabyne lie just outside and service the park.
The area was a reserve in 1944 called Kosciuszko State Park and in 1967 it became a National Park under the control of the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service.
In 1997 a 'z' was added to the name of the mountain and park to more accurately reflect its Polish origins.
