Simex do make a tyre tube that is stronger and thicker than most others on the market.
HOWEVER.. If the side wall of the tyre is damaged right through then the tube alone will NOT be enough to make using the tyre a sensible option. Ultimately you'll need to get the sidewall vulcanised (which does render it unroadworthy and is not legal) which can only be done at specialised places, usually truck tyre places. I know there is one in footscray? area but the name escapes me..
Hope this helps
