About Snowy Mountains
The Snowies are the tallest in Australia (if still no match for New Zealand or New Guinea) and the best it gets in terms of alpine weather on the continent. While the mountains here are nowhere near as tall as New Guinea's 4500-m mountain range, those don't receive as much snowfall as the Snowies. Interestingly, the Australian Alps receive more snowfall than the Swiss Alps, which sounds unusual to most. The usual alpine vegetation, as well as kangaroos, dingos, etc.Emus, a rare sight elsewhere in New South Wales, are frequently spotted around Mt Kosciusko National Park.
