Can you get lost in Gore?

Can you get lost in Gore?? Yes you can and if you are in a 9 metre bus and towing a car it isn't such an easy exercise.
We had left Clyde about mid day and travelled to Roxburgh where we stopped for a late lunch, above the banks of the Roxburgh Dam. This is a favourite spot, on the other side of the dam to the main road. We often take this road down to Millar's Flat as it is quieter. Stephen doesn't like a build up of traffic behind him.
We got to Gore just before 4pm and managed to find a park in the central shopping area. We first headed off to H&J Smiths to say catch up with  Donna, Stephen's sister, before doing our weekly grocery shop.
As Stephen wanted to take the back road through Hedgehope we needed to get across town to Charleton Road. This is where we struck trouble. Twice we made a turn into a no-exit street and twice we had to disconnect the car from the bus so that we could turn around. It was at this stage we turned on the i-pad and looked at google maps. This immediately showed us where we were and how to find Charleton Road.  By now it was getting on in the day and we like to be at our destination before dark. Already pushing our luck on this point, Stephen then pointed out, as we were passing through Hedgehope that we really didn't have as much fuel left in the tank as he would have liked. The bus is a hungry beast, only going 5km per litre so as we got close to Rakahouka we decided that we would pull over at the church for the night. There was plenty of parking even if it was somewhat close to a busy road. However it was perfect for us and in the morning we were able to make our way down to Lorneville to get that much needed fuel to take us out to Otatara.
