Saturday 5th May 2018: Gerkie Gap to Webb Gap 18kms

This section of the trail follows the Tothill Ranges, which boast the largest remaining section of remnant scrub in the area and are one of the delights of the Mid-North. There are pleasant vistas over the surrounding farmland, with constant reminders of 19th century optimism and 21st century technology.

Sunday 6th May 2018: Webb Gap to Burra Road 23kms

The trail continues along the Tothill Range, providing expansive views over the surrounding farmland and the Apoinga Lagoon. A sharp climb after Huppatz Hut will provide walkers with a taste of things to come in future walks.
