In September, I rode across the Nullabor for 11 days to claim my $A77 Air Asia ticket to Bali.
On my first night camping next to the road, I found that my tent poles were broken. K mart came to the rescue as they sold a range of fibreglass tent poles in different diameters.
In the dark, I easily managed to replace the broken poles and make it to Perth Airport.
Bring the beach tent back to Oz and take the broken poles to K mart to pick the correct dimeter replacements.
