New South Wales will be put on the map again, this time for claiming the title of having the nation’s “highest suspension bridge,” located 1627 metres above sea level in Kosciuszko National Park, which houses Australia’s highest peak, Mount Kosciuszko.

The bridge is part of the new nine-kilometre track along the Snowy River, completing the second of four stages of the Snowies Alpine Walk project.
