Bonny – thanks for the additional suggestions, there is an outside chance I might be back to New Zealand later this year for a work trip 🙂

I’ve been to Mt Cook a couple of times, but went pretty much straight up into the mountains and haven’t had much of a look around the valleys. I did hike a distance up the Tasman Valley on the way to the Ball Pass area, and I agree with you that it’s one of the uglier glaciers, especially on the black moraine in the hot sun. Another really good day walk you can do is up a massive staircase to Sealy Tarns above the west side of the Hooker Valley – great views over the valley and of Mount Sefton looming above. If you have more time you could continue up to the top of the ridge to Mueller Hut (great place to stay a night or 2 btw) and Mt Ollivier.
