There was no wireless internet at Mt Cook National Park The caravan park facilities were very poor. The accommodation was definitely top of the range at The Hermitage ($360 per night AUTUMN SPECIAL) with a lousy dialup facility.

There was snow during the night. Mt Cook itself was full of international tourists, most of whom were interested in doing walks with many doing serious mountaineering. We did a little:

The light was all wrong for photography--it was a case of shooting into the sun and hoping for the best, given the extreme contrast in the alpine country.
The best place to hang out for coffee and internet access was the Old Mountaineers Cafe. An example of good wilderness photography is the work of Craig Potton.
