I'm hiking the Milford Track in November!!! I originally thought it was completely booked up but there were spaces available late October and mid-November. October and November is a bit of a dangerous time to hike it because of the risk of avalanches, but the DOC staff seem to keep everyone well informed, so I think it will be fine. The only thing is, if there is a track closure, you either need to be lifted around the danger by helicopter (!) or cancel the rest of the hike. The Milford Track is one of the "Great Walks" here in New Zealand. I'm doing it independently, although 40 people a day are allowed to begin. Bookings are essential due to the hut capacities. The hike is only accessible by boat.

Avalanches are not permitted on the trail!
Sounds amazing. From reading the website, it sounds like the trail staff is prepared for everything. Invest in a couple disposable cameras!
By foot, by boat......... nothing else left but a helicopter! Or is there? You have just about done it all. Wonderful. Gram
