| Section 2 is a comfortable walk over mostly flat and undulating terrain. Mulga Camp is a nice campsite if you have the time to divide up this section and camp there. The scenery improves between Spring Gap to Jay Creek. Spring Gap is a beautiful little retreat, especially if the waterhole's are full after rain. |
