Towing Nightmare: Massive Tyre Blowout While Towing An RV

Once our heart rates settle down, we make a plan to unhitch the van and change the tyre on the side of the highway. What a feat in less than ideal conditions... heat, thousands of flies and a sloping run off, made jacking up the 79 an effort in itself! 

We limp into Marla and sort a spare tyre from the local repairer, and enjoy an impromptu overnighter at the Marla Travellers Rest Roadhouse, before hitting the road again early the next morning. But our vehicle troubles didn't stop with the flat, as we experience uncontrollable shaking through the steering at speeds over 70km per hour, so it's back to Marla to try and figure out what on earth is going on with the 79!  Despite all the challenges this week we are reminded of the incredible generosity of others, and are so grateful for the help we received in such trying circumstances. 

Plus we are excited to be supporting the brilliant work of the Royal Flying Doctor Service through a new partnership that will have you feeling good in more ways than one!  We've teamed up with Tim Adams Wines and Mr. Mick to donate $20 per dozen wines purchased using our FEELGOOD 15% discount code, to our favourite charity, the RFDS.
