💡Today’s Fun Fact Friday is brought to you by !

Switzerland is truly a mountainous country, with the Alps taking up over half of the country’s land.

Whilst many of Switzerland’s mountains tower over 4,000 metres, can you guess how tall Australia’s highest peak is? (Hint: it’s not 4,000 metres!)

⛰️Thank you to Switzerland Tourism, major sponsor for Adelaide.
