Lost in Redbank

Stupid roads. Stupid signs.
Exploring somewhere new is probably not done best in the dark, when one is hungry, and need to pee.
Hurtling down the highway the turn-offs seem to loom rather quickly and there's little time to evaluate if it's the right one (how can there be so many turn offs so far apart for the same places?) and wham! you turn and drive, and 20 minutes later when you nearly hit a knagaroo on a deserted, unlit backroad, you realise this probably isn't the way to the big shopping centre. Turnaround and another 20 minutes, then the next exit, still not the right one. An hour it took. AN HOUR.
Embarrassing? Yes.
Want to know what's humiliating? I got lost on the way back too.
The shops weren't even that good either. What a wash-out.
