Mount Cook








17th Feb we travelled to Mount Cook and again had fantastic weather and therefore beautiful views of this huge mountain.It is 3755m high and the highest in Australasia. Sir Edmund Hillary climbed this before Mount Everest. It is breathtaking and the Department of Conservation campsite we stayed on was in a fantastic location as you can see. We could hear the crack of the ice as it melted on the mountain. It sounded like thunder. This was another memorable place to stay.
