Rock Road Home

Just another case of trusting the GPS. Destination Burnett Heads (south of Bundaberg)
Approaching from northern outskirts of Bundy GPS sent me left on a reasonable arterial road which gradually narrowed amidst cane fields complete with oncoming cane trucks. Resisting the "polite comments" of passenger (DB) to turn around I continued finally reaching the river and  aha vehicular ferry alas privately owned by sugar mill. Both Dave and I hopped out to discuss with mill staff the prospect of a ferry ride "no go mate GPS sends heaps of travellers out here" Not happy Jan !!
Change of drivers U turn and off we go back whereby followed a "debate" on merits of following GPS when DB was sure we were on wrong road. As the "discussion" continued I turned to back of the motorhome to get Oskar's (our maltese/poodle) opinion NO OSKAR!!!  Stopped searched loo, behind seats etc still no canine passenger.
Back we go dodging cane trucks once again fearing the worst but there covered in dust dodging trucks was Oskar quite forlorn  Lucky in the time of about 20 minutes he hadnt moved, been picked up or squashed by a truck. He had apparently hopped out (a rare event) for a pit stop.
Next day our new neighbour in Burnett Heads - a big bus with car in tow also followed the GPS to the ferry !!!
Morale of story dont trust GPS especially when you see sign post to Bargara (near Burnett Heads) is in opposite direction and your co driver "suggests" you are going the wrong way.
I am sure other Highway Wanderers have similar GPS stories or just funny wrong turns I have a few more for another issue and I reckon we could start a column.
Happy travelling
