In 1840 there was a Polish explorer called Paul Strzelecki who named the mountain after a Polish freedom fighter called General Tadeusz Kosciuszko whose tomb is of a similar shape back in Krakow.

The Geographical Names Board of New South Wales agreed to change the spelling to ‘Kosciuszko’ which is the correct spelling of the General Surname. #Kosciuszko #Australia
