The following section takes you along a steep track past Boiler Plates peak and beautiful Lake Leo to Stuart Saddle Campsite. The next short section leads below The Needles to Goon Moor Campsite. The following part leads across the Gables and there it is where the stunning views over the distand Federation Peak open up.
