Australia's alpine heartland, protecting the continent's highest peaks and unique subalpine ecosystems

Kosciuszko National Park

Kosciuszko National Park is a vast protected area spanning approximately 6,900 square kilometres in the southeastern corner of New South Wales, Australia. The park contains mainland Australia's highest peak, Mount Kosciuszko, standing at 2,228 metres above sea level, as well as the highest town in Australia, Cabramurra. This mountainous wilderness is characterized by an alpine climate that supports distinctive ecosystems found nowhere else on the continent, making it one of Australia's most significant natural heritage areas. The park forms part of a larger contiguous network of protected alpine areas including Victoria's Alpine National Park to the south and the Australian Capital Territory's Namadgi National Park to the northeast, creating a transboundary conservation corridor of national importance.

Study the historical earthquake catalogue around Kosciuszko National Park

Kosciuszko National Park’s earthquake catalogue measures the separation between reported epicentres and Australia’s highest protected terrain, rather than assigning every record to the park interior. Event time, magnitude, depth, locality, distance, and source access support historical comparison without treating alpine landforms as seismic causes, offering a current risk judgment, or anticipating future activity.
