Co-incidentally, the highest mountain in mainland Australia is called Mount Kosciuszko, after the same man....

"The mountain was named by the Polish explorer Pawel Edmund Strzelecki in 1840, in honour of Polish-Lithuanian freedom fighter General Tadeusz Kosciuszko, because of its perceived resemblance to the Kosciuszko Mound in Kraków, Poland." (Wikipedia)
