As our pursuit of a replacement spare tyre had failed in Meekatharra, we decided to head to Newman from our camp on the Gascoyne. Sadly it was to no avail as all three tyre services didn’t have the correct size tyre and it would take at least a week for one to be freighted in. This doesn’t really suit so we will keep trying every tyre service we come across. I suspect it will be easier to find one on the coast road as there are more Sprinter and VW motorhomes along that road.
We decided to stay at the “caravan park” on the edge of Newman. It has shower facilities and a laundry etcetera and I’m in definite need after scurrying around under the van extracting the spare tyre (which was also covered in brake dust) besides it’s our wedding anniversary today so it will be nice to have some comforts. We don’t have power or grass, so I guess the toilet and shower are our luxuries for tonight.
Back on the road tomorrow, heading for Tom Price
