    Tips

    March 3, 2026

    Mount Townsend stands as Australia's 2nd-highest mountain, and it's said to have better summit views than its neighbor, Mount Kosciuszko, Australia's 1st-highest mountain. At 2,209 meters above sea level, you won't find any trees around here for taking shelter, so come prepared. There is a humble stone pillar marking the summit, with 360-degree views looking into the Main Range, the Ramshed Range, and beyond.
