1. Instead of tent pegs - the ground is so hard at Kings Canyon, even harder than Coober Pedy where you live underground in an unreinforced house - why not use your flat tyre to tie your tent down :)
2. As a tricep dips bench - sit on it - now bend the elbows up down up down
3. Also thinking fitness here - but it's a portable step up bench - isn't it?
4. Tyre removed leave your rim in the sun and you have an extra skillet. Cook eggs and bacon on it - it's hot enough
5. As a small table for your 4 year old. She can sit on the ground and the flat tyre makes an excellent if not dusty portable table
We were on the road to Kings Canyon when we blew our tyre. That was 3 days ago and it will be another 5 days before we get another and I can't imagine what this will cost. Until then we drive under 80 kph - 350 km down today - if we blow another we are screwed. Apparently Captiva spares are hard to come by. No Oonadatta Track, we won't drive the southern end of Lake Eyre - we've been told you can blow a tyre or 2 on these tracks and they are just too hard to come by. Never mind, I am still hoping to fly over Lake Eyre. We r at Uluru now and it is magic. I thrive in the heat and it's 9 pm and still 33! Husband does not thrive in the heat. Ying and yang are we.
