High Drama on Hay Plains

Well we almost made it into Balranald, blew a tyre on the bridge just before town



Bob trying to get the van jacked up, 1 hour later still no luck!!!!


Help arrives
 


Street party happening here !!!


In the end we had all these lads helping, + a semi driver pulled up + another motorhome
2 jacks + a trolley jack & BINGO finally got inside tyre changed


One shredded tyre

The tyre wasn't our only problem, when it blew, it also shredded the water pipe which is behind the wheel hub + cut the wiring for electric step & brake sensor
BUGGER

Next morning we were camped @ a rest area just outside of town & the wind was SO STRONG, it unraveled our awning & sent if flapping over the roof of the van.  I thought the wind had torn our roof off.

Luckily there were some other people camped & they heard the noise & came to investigate & were able to help us get the awning down & rewound.  Never would have done it on our own took 8 people to fix it!!!!
