Dear Nomad
I might mention that about 1972 the PNG national field survey team built two timber huts at the lake below the summit mentioned by Bill on Mt Wilhelm. They are now in poor condition, but are preferable accommodation to pitching your tent on the open windy,often icy,slopes. The mountain remains in pristine condition although there have been many visitors since Bill's trip. The collection of specimens is allowed on the mountain, with the permission from the local tribal elders.
For Chuck
The ANU butterfly collection is housed in a separate building from the main university campus in Canberra and the building and the collection are not open to the public. A written request for access to the chief curator via their website giving your reasons for access would probably be successful for your visit in November

colon it sound like you have collected on Mt Wilhelm yourself. If you did, how long and when were you there.

Dear Nomad
I go to PNG for the collection of specimens each year or so with a net, a tent and a backpack and travel around for 2-3 months. I was last in PNG in 2015 and I was last on Mt Wilhelm in 2013
