    No choppers in there, they aren't allowed. For Chamios look over in the gully behind you in the top pic or the face to your north....

    I spend a bit of time trolling Google Earth. Its certainly worked in the past, here's one that shows the sort of areas I look for:
    Plenty of cover(bush)
    Plenty of feed (clearing)
    Access to the tops
    A few wet areas for water

    Close-up of Neckshots spot (top right) with a yearling out. The small grassy faces on these slips are often grazed during the day.
