With a land area of 29 million square miles, Australia is the sixth largest country in the world. Most of the country’s 2.43 million people live on the mainland except for the islands, Tasmania and various smaller islands. Australia is the 13th largest economy in the world and a leader in health and education. Kosciuszko, Townsend, Twynam, Rams Head, Rams Head North, Alice Rawson, Carruthers, Northcote, Tate Gungartan are the ten highest mountains in Australia. Of these, Mount Kosciuszko is the highest mountain in Australia at 2,228 meters (7,310 ft) above sea level. It is a snow-capped mountain range located in Kosciuszko National Park in New South Wales. On March 12, 1840, Polish explorer Paweł Edmund Strzelecki reached the top of the mountain and named it after Tadeusz Kościuszko, the military leader of the Polish-Lithuanian War of Independence. This mountain in Australia is said to have been named after its resemblance to Kościuszko Mountain in Krakow, Poland.
