Photo blogger Jake put up a photo of the (underside of the) Kosciuszko Bridge   we Australians have Mount Kosciuszko as our tallest mountain

Both are named after Tadeusz Kościuszko   a hero of both the American Revolutionary War, and the Polish uprising against Russia.

Who knows how our mountain was named after this Pole?
