Not to be too pedantic but if your comparing the highest mountains on each continent, Mt. Cook in New Zealand is the highest mountain in Australasia, its over 12,000 feet.

I was going to be too pedantic and ask whether Mt. Everest was technically on the Asian plate or the Indian plate and which continental plate was therefore unrepresented.

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.
