February - Mount Kosciuszko (7,310 feet)

​

Termed "Kozi" by the locals, Mt Kosciusko (7310 feet), situated in New South Wales Snowy mountains, is the highest peak in Australia and one of the original 7 summits. I have chose this high peak because I wanted to get to Australia to meet up with my Aunt Pat (my Dad's sister) who has lived there most of her life.

There is some debate weather the high peak, in this continent, is this mountain or Carstensz Pyramid (16,023) in Indonesia

Carstensz is technically the hardest of the 7 summits. Although Dick Bass climbed Kosciuszko as the last of his 7 summits quest, Carstensz is in fact the highest mountain of the oceanic continent, but the discussion is still going on. 

Many sides of the story can be found on this forum discussion as well as in this FAQ on 7summits.com.
