Mount Kosciuszko Incorporated - Our Aims
The Mt Kosciuszko Incorporated is a non-for-profit Association of Polish emigrants, which was established in Perth, Western Australia in 2002 to raise public interest in the early history of Mount Kosciuszko and Paul's E. Strzelecki's contribution to the development of this country.
Our missjon…
The lowly objective presentation of the latest history of geographical discoveries in Australian school programs and some mass media is a challenge to patient information dissemination, based on archival sources, and authoritative historical literature, especially in English, as well as in Polish.
The surest way to achieve this goal is seen in the popularization of Paul Edmund Strzelecki's form and merits in the local society as well as through the preservation of the historical truth about the mountain, its conqueror, and the name given by him.
Official Logo of our Association:
Our logo was created on the basis of an illustration that was placed in the book by L. Paszkowski titled: „Sir Paul Edmund de Strzelecki. Reflections on his life” and signed:
„ Second sketch (…one of five which were possesion of James Riley z.l.) inscribed » Mt Kosciuszko the highest summit of Munyang in Australia. March 25th 1840 «. It is obvious that Kosciuszko was the whole massif and not a particular peak”.
The original sketch is in the La Trobe Collection, State Library of Victoria.
