I think this is a terrific story but it is also typical of the kindness and generosity that one experiences throughout country areas of Australia. Everywhere I travel I enjoy the company of locals, their willingness to help, assist, advise and generally oblige.

One standout was Isisford, where we stayed and enjoyed an unscheduled and unplanned morning tea as a fund raiser for Cancer and enjoyed the company of so many lovely folk.

Thanks to all you people everywhere. You are the icing on the travelling cake for me.

Very sad but perhaps a TPMS may have prevented this.

Did with us twice.

Get sick of hearing all the bad news crap on the news shows. This restores ones faith in humanity.

Glad that a good outcome came about..

Cheers to all those that helped..

Good to hear the locals being so friendly and accommodating.

Few people realise that it's a total disaster when a caravan/motorhome flips.
You not only lose your wheels, you lose your "home", too.
Then there's the trauma of picking through the wreckage trying to salvage stuff.

I've come across numerous car & caravan or camper flips, and the people are always totally devastated.

Bottom line is - the rig should not have flipped just because a caravan tyre blew.
Something was wrong in the setup of the whole rig, if a tyre blowout flipped it.

If it was a steer tyre, I could understand it - but not a 'van tyre.

Cheers, Ron.
