Two thousand meter peaks on the Australian mainland

The 25 peaks of over 2000 meters on mainland Australia are all located in the state of New South Wales in southeastern Australia and in the Snowy Mountains . The area of ​​the Snowy Mountains around Mount Kosciuszko is called the Main Range ; all two-thousand- meter peaks are located here except for Gungartan , Mount Jagungal and Kerries Ridge, a few kilometers to the northeast . All of the peaks are easy to climb and many do not require climbing. The first ascent of the highest peak, Mount Kosciuszko , happened in February 1840 by Paul Edmund de Strzelecki . Except for the Big Ben volcano and Antarctica, all other mountains outside the mainland are lower than 2000 meters.
