The 50 hours of mountain flying course may be attractive for the bare CPL holder that is looking for some work and as an alternative to instructing. What are you going to get out of it? Some single engine VFR work and maybe a couple of years down the track some much coveted multi vfr work?
It's an investment, decide what you want out of it.
Queenstown can be a tough scene to get into and it can be even tougher to get out of.
Like Borneo Wild Man says...Mountains shmeltons!!!!
Try PNG mountain flying/bush VFR... flying a track on a Garmin 100 GPS in IMC below LSALT...
