Fire access road

Does this look like a fire access road? My GPS thought so, but the 100 or so sheep in the distance said no! I went about a klm past the gate (the third gate) and it did not get any better. PS we wont be going along here on the 26th!

GPS mapping is often very poor in rural areas, and may include references to roads which no longer exist, or where land was set aside for roads but were never built, or where the information is just wrong. A fire access road isn't a public road. It's somewhere designated as a place that fire vehicles can travel to fight a fire.

If there is a gate, and no indication that it is a public road (or in the case of your example, no evidence that there is any road at all) then you shouldn't go through the gate. You're probably trespassing.

Don't blame the GPS. It didn't do anything.
