Some nice accessible country in the Borland / Green Lake kind of area (couple hours walk to Green Lake hut from Borland Road) too, not sure what animal numbers are like.
Nice side trip off the top of the Routeburn is to drop down from Harris Saddle and sidle around Lake Harris, then follow up the stream that feeds Lake Harris into the Valley of the Trolls. Cool spot, if you have time from there you can scramble up a wee gut to the right of the obvious waterfall and that takes you to Lake Wilson.
