Final day heading back to Howitt, and down Howitt Spur, following the river back to Bindaree Hut.
Just be aware that Helicopter Spur is a little hairy towards the top with some possible pack hauling needed.
Some of the best country you will ever see in Victoria.

could you reccomend any maps for the walk you mentioned, sounds like an interesting and challenging walk.

I'd second that, although if you don't mind long days you can go all the way to Speculation and then down from Buggery via Queens Spur in three days.

It'd be doable. A bit of a slog, but doable. I've done Spec to Bindaree in a day before via the CrossCut, and Howitt Spur, and that was just mind numbing, Queens Spur would be a different kettle of fish though.
