PERHAPS OUR GPS would get us back safely. After our experiences of the day, we were ready for any kind of problem in finding our way back. Everyone was telling us to drive to Comboyne and then head north to Wauchope, where we could take the Oxley Highway back to Port Macquarie.
When we got to the road to Wingham, "Miss Exterminate" (our GPS lady) was sure that would be the best route for us to take. Perhaps there was some way to Kendall and Kew down there but, by then, we had no enthusiasm for that course. Timbertown, Wauchope, and Port Macquarie. That was what we wanted.
After a few arguments between us and Miss Exterminate, we decided to put her in a darkened glove box and navigate by "seat of pants" methods.
We found a council truck which appeared to be in a hurry to head back to the depot somewhere near Wauchope, so we followed it. After a few anxious minutes when we were not completely sure we were on track, we saw some reassuring signs, and drove on happily.
Eventually we were back in Port Macquarie, and happy to have dinner and a relaxing evening.
