Popping Out To Change Some Tyres

On Saturday we took a truckload of spare tyres down the Sandstone track to David Green, one of Gary's work buddies. He's re-doing the road out that way and the road train tipper truck had gone through a heap of tyres on the sharp rocks. It was just past Mount Yagahong, dusty as hell, and I was kept busy grabbing at our lunch, drinks and stuff bouncing off the truck console on all the corrugations. Wild Saturday fun!

No wonder Gary's tired (joke) when he gets home!
