The long Road Home

Left Peterborough and the day started off with a good early start and then just out of Cockburn (50 klms out of Broken Hill) got a right side flat Tyre on the caravan, pulled up pretty quickly to save the rim.
Caravan jack wouldn’t work so grabbed the Hilux jack, drove van up onto some timber I had to get some height to get jack under the axle.
A long distance truckie, John pulled over and stopped to check on us, he helped me with the wheel change as we were right on the edge of the road, couple of minor injuries as wheel nuts must have been put on with rattle gun 😡 and the bushes next to van on other side were sharp 🌳.

On the way in tried ringing everyone we could find to see if we could get it replaced before moving on but to no avail, being a Sunday and nothing open.
Took a chance without a spare and drove to Cobar (500 klms) to our overnight park booking.Read more
