pronunciation

Re.: It should also be noted that the common Australian pronunciation of Kosciuszko, "koz-ee-os-koe", is quite different from the pronunciation in Polish.
What is the Polish pronunciation? D.D. 12:20, 17 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Re.: "What is the Polish pronunciation?" It's really impossible to show without hearing it (and even then it is difficult to pronounce for English speakers), the closest would be "Kosh-choosh-koh". The vowels are a bit different and there's no 'sz' sound in English.

I think a better way to show the English pronunciation would be "kozzy osko". MagdaBudzynowska 03:44, 10 Apr 2004 (UTC)

aboriginal name

There is affair about renaming the name to aborigenal name. As i've heard, no aborigenes were living here earlier before English speaking settlers, though... Could somebody explain the matter in article? 150.254.31.167 08:17, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)

How do you know no Aboriginal peopel were on Mt Kosciusko pre Europeans? I doubt if anyone lived on this hill in recent prehistoric times because of climate but the hill would have been visted regularly by Aboriginal people before the arrival of the Europeans.

Name swap with Mt Townsend

Is this actually true? :"Various measurements of the peak originally called by that name showed it to be slightly lower than its neighbour, Mount Townsend, and the names were thereupon transposed by the New South Wales Lands Department, so that Mount Kosciusko still remains the highest peak of Australia". A quick google search doesn't locate any supporting evidence. A supporting reference would be useful.

It's lifted verbatim from the Year Book Australia 1909 ( - this link now accompanies the statement in the article). I don't know whether it's true though. Nurg 05:46, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

It is true. I have copies of the original maps that show the swap.

"hike" Australian English?

Is "hike" Australian English? Andjam 08:45, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

yes definately Maelgwn 12:06, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Why does Robert Myers change the muniong stuff? Do u want to continue with the incorrect stuff up now or go on the info in Strzs notesbooks and the maps as recorded by many. As I walked home today and looked west, I was looking at von Guerads view. I am not on Main Range but at the base of the Muniong Range which is the northernmost point of the Warrawongs. I guess those who do not know the geography of the State they live in though, wont have any idea of what I am on about.

Just answer for me why you guys change information? Is wik supposed to run on your level of knowledge, or on historic fact?

If RM had a map of wagga in front of him or several correct maps of wagga in front of him, does that then make a newly obtained map of perth, the correct versu\ion of the map of wagga, or would rm stick with th empas of wagga he knows are right?

Along come millie from Darwin who has never been to wagga before who lands in Bris and is asked to selct the correct map of wagga out of two unsigned and no headings maps. She selects the perth map as being wagga. Does that make millies version of what wagga is and where it is, right ... or is RMs thoughts on that right?

Neither RM or Millie is right.

Its the Wagga map is right.

Its the Perth map is wrong.
