The present paper was commissioned by the Australian Alps Liaison Committee. They believed that a detailed and comprehensive assessment was needed to determine if the Australian Alps are qualified for international recognition, and, if so, to determine at what level and for what reasons. The author's aim is to assess the arguments for international natural significance of the MOU area and to document this significance in an integrated fashion suitable as a basis for World Heritage nomination.
