Mount Cook, Wellington

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mt Cook is a suburb of Wellington located on the southern fringe of the central city alongside Te Aro. The population of Mt Cook at the 2001 census was 3600 and is growing due to its proximity to educational facilities and the central city.

The suburb contains a small hill named Mt Cook, from where the original survey marks through Wellington were measured.
