Kosciuszko National Park 

This is one of the world's great national parks, and the largest in New South Wales. Covering almost 675,000 hectares, the park contains the highest mountains in Australia, the famous Snowy River and all NSW ski fields. Its many and varied attractions include walks through alpine herbfields; spectacular caves and limestone gorges; scenic drives; and historic huts and homesteads.

One of the Australian Alps national parks, this park is nationally and internationally recognised as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. It contains six wilderness areas, and its alpine and sub-alpine areas contain plant species found nowhere else in the world. The park is also home to the rare mountain pygmy possum and corroboree frog.

Entry Fees

If you're driving into the park, you will need to purchase a vehicle day pass. This costs $27 from the start of the June long weekend to the end of the October long weekend, and $16 throughout the rest of the year.

• If you're a regular visitor to NSW national parks, you can save on vehicle entry fees by buying an annual pass. Annual passes are available online.
