After crossing the The Pound we arrive at Bridal Gap with once again spectacular views of distant mountains. A descent down into Black gap finds us on Moralana Drive where the days walk ends. From here we'll start our 32km day heading for Mt Little Station walking through open plains, wooded forests and a huge dry creek bed. The final day is in and out of Wonoka Creek before finishing on the Leigh Creek Rd.
