Are you being ironic here, Andrew, because...

...I believe they not all that long ago agreed to put the "z" back
into Kossie (I'm studiously avoiding spelling it, because I'm too
lazy to look it up)? I guess, by doing so, they made it a ZTop,
if not a ZZTop (for some reason, an image of a beardless(?) Walt
doing circle-work in his ute just popped into my head).
>From memory, (ok) Kosciuszko (sp?) was not only a "Polish hero", but
was a significant figure in American history too (the man got around).
Our highest mountain would be a lot easier said if Strzlecki (sp?)
pronounced it "Townsend" or "Tar-gan-gil" though. ;)
OM Content: None...except I do have quite a few photos of the region,
as, I imagine, does the near-to-Kossie Foxy.
