Hiked about 120K in this section. Started in Wanaka shortly after a 15,000 ft jump above Lake Wanaka looking over Mt Inspiring NP and Fjordland NP. I ended the tramp just north of Te Anue where I then hitched in to, to prep for the 4 day Kelper trail,( another "great walk" of NZ. I was able to connect the Reese/Dart track to the famous Routeburn track,(one of the top ten trails of the world) they say......by fording the Dart river, which was highly inadvisable by the DOC workers. Super intense ford! Treking poles quivering and legs failing...but made it thru the grey/blue glacial melting riping river! The 4 day Routeburn track, I was able to hike in one day....which was great! 
Wow.
