Geocache Description:

On the way into Cooma from the North - a small info bay.

Tadeusz Kosciuszko (abcd - efgh)
A national hero of Poland, Belarus, Lithuania and even an American claim to fame.
Why a monument on the Monaro, when he was born in Mereczowszczyzna?
Australia's highest mountain was named, not necessarily in his honour but rather his belief in freedom and Australia representing this new freedom, by Sir Paul Edmund de Strzelecki - the man who defined the location of Australia's highest point.

The Cache is located nearby, (but a little further away than the original container).
