Snowy mountain view Description
The Snowy Mountains is an IBRA subregion in southern New South Wales, Australia, and is the tallest mountain range in mainland Australia, being part of the continent's Great Dividing Range cordillera system. It makes up the northeastern half of the Australian Alps. It contains Australia's five tallest peaks, all above 2,100 m (6,890 ft), including the tallest Mount Kosciuszko, which reaches 2,228 m (7,310 ft) above sea level. The offshore Tasmanian highlands make up the only other central alpine region present in the whole of Australia.
The Snowy Mountains experience significant natural snowfalls every winter, generally during June, July, August, and early September, with the snow cover melting by late spring. It is considered one of the Australian ski industry centers during the winter months, with all four snow resorts in New South Wales being located in the region. The range is host to the mountain plum-pine, a low-lying type of conifer.
The Alpine Way and Snowy Mountains Highway are the major roads through the Snowy Mountains region.
Europeans first explored the area in 1835, and in 1840, Edmund Strzelecki ascended Mount Kosciuszko and named it after the Polish patriot. High country stockmen followed who used the Snowy Mountains for grazing during the summer months. Banjo Paterson's famous poem The Man From Snowy River recalls this era. The cattle graziers have left a legacy of mountain huts scattered across the area. Today these huts are maintained by the National Parks and Wildlife Service or volunteer organizations like the Kosciuszko Huts Association.
