I've never taken a 2nd spare, I run muddies, thick sidewalls and tread, less likely to get a flat than a typical factory fit 'all terrain' that manufacturers fit. I do carry a compressor (don't we all) and a tyre plug kit and then I keep my fingers crossed
Never had an issue with the flinders, the Cape or numerous other trips. As an aside my trailer also runs muddies, for the same reason.
Cheers
Steve
