Saturday 20th headed off again towards Ravensthorpe. Disaster struck when we were about 40kms out of town. Big bang & flapping noise. Bugger we had done the right inside back tyre (dual) shredded it to pieces (whole tread gone!!). Luckily Bob was driving & he managed to slow down & we were able to pull off the highway into a clearing. Had to unpack all the weight from that side of the van (place looked like a tip!!) It was very hot, windy & soooooo many flies & Bob had to try & change the tyre. He was almost done when a couple driving past saw that he may need help so they turned around & came to the rescue. Once he had some heavy weight help it was done & dusted in no time. Once we repacked the van & thanked the people for stopping we were on our way to Ravensthorpe. These were the tyres that Bullara station put on the van, so they were only just a year old.
Bought some supplies & headed for the coast.
Sunday had lunch in local cafe......Sunday roast for $15 & yummie
