Fondly referred as Sir Ed, he is a HERO to ALL Kiwis. For days after his demise on 11 Jan 08, NZ flags were flown at half mast and a black band was tied around the arm of his statue at Mt Cook Hermitage Hotel. A state funeral was also arranged for this only person to appear on NZ currency ($5 notes) during his lifetime.
To commemorate him, many Kiwis suggested to declare his birthday as a public holiday........ heh.......
The best and most expensive hotel at Mt Cook village.
