the drop will likely be pretty close to the butler , Perth to the butler river ?

Drop won't affect chamois, you're gonna pass much better places to go if you're gonna walk all the way up there...

Are the lower catchments better fo chamios @Ryan_Songhurst

You might be better to chopper in and hunt your way out.

@outdoorlad two of us will walk up and back out while two older chaps will chopper in (with our main supplies) and walk out.
Looks like its only a 10hr walk to top butler ?

I walked to top butler there's a few river crossings down low when you first start out that can be impassable after rain so that's something to keep in mind, butler area in general gets a hiding by weekend warriors flying in. Much better places around there if you're prepared to camp

@llewelyn I will PM you soon
