An Australian woman has died after falling 300 metres from a peak in New Zealand’s Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park.
Police investigations indicate the fall was an accident.
“All members of the climbing party, including the victim, were experienced and well equipped,” inspector Dave Gaskin said.
“Weather conditions prior to the accident are understood to have been good.” The woman’s name is expected to be released on Thursday after her family has been informed.
