Well followers this was a bugger of a day. We left Kulgera with the hopes of arriving in Yalara ( closest town to Uluru ) that evening. We had to leave the main Stuart Hwy & travel a narrower sharp edged road, I was driving & had to move over for a semi & the caravan wheels left the bitumen didn't think much of it no real difference in the handling but after a while the electric brake control came up with a short warning so asap I pulled over only to find we had no rear passenger side tyre or alloy rim F%#$ so after some really heavy effort ( there was wire from the tyre wrapped around everything ) we got the spare on & continued not far on there was a sign for a free camp so we decided to leave the van & go into Uluru for a new tyre & rim. Luckily we stopped as the front tyre was going flat as it had small pieces of wire in it's wall in several places F%#$ another new tyre.So a 250+kms round trip to get 1 new tyre no rims to be had.
We did Ayers rock while we were there photos next XXXVal
