Depending on where you are going in NZ, your best means of access will
probably be by dial-up although Wi-Fi coverage is available in the
major cities. A number of hotels also offer Wi-Fi access.

You will need to check if your laptop model supports Wi-Fi. In certain
countries, it is not provided as standard on the 5100.

If you are only travelling for a limited period of time and want to
use a dial-up connection, you will need to establish a roaming account
(your Australian ISP should offer this).
