The spectacular and distinctive Australian Alps contain landforms created by glaciers, remarkable fish fossils and unique cold climate plants and animals. The Alps have a strong association with Australia's pioneering history, while the snowfields and national parks have long been popular recreation areas. The Australian Alps, made up of eleven national parks and nature reserves, were included on the National Heritage List on 7 November 2008.
