A lack of planning on your part does not necessarily constitute a sense of urgency on mine.

The only Mountain that it was possible to drive to the peak is Mount Koscivszko, Koscivszko National Park, NSW, at 2,228 metres. Officially Australia's highest Mountain, excluding Mawson Peak on Heard Island, an external territory. Mount Townsend is said to be higher than Mount Koscivszko, but NSW Gov says, the latter, is the highest, even if it's lower.

Hi 2020, I believe there is a mountain in Wales that was called a hill because it was then under 1,000 feet high. The local Vicar led the townsfolk and they built a mound on top of it and stopped the Official leaving until he pronounced it was a mountain, he did.

The Vicar died during the building of the mound and his gravestone stands at the top of the mountain. Someone told me there was a film made about it called, something like, "He went up a hill and came down a mountain".

Teenage friends of the kids back from overseas.
They say that the manniquins in the window showing off the latest jeans - (central america) - no longer show you the front. Apparently the latest fashion is all about the back view - brickies cleavage, the works But it's humourous (apparently) when all the manniquins are backing up to the window.
