Crazy how tiny NZ has many towering mountains that put all the mountains of the entire Australian landmass to shame.

I used to be a peakbagger, specifically state high points. This one in AUS would not be worth the trip!

It reminds me of the state high point in Kansas.

It’s largely a function of age with eroded Australia being pretty flat with some of the oldest rocks in the world and New Zealand being one of the newest land masses. Every thing gets flat with age. Eventually the Grand Tetons will be flat and saggy.
