Lost man drives nine hours to get newspaper

Steward, who did not know where he was, eventually approached a policeman at a petrol station and asked for help late on Wednesday. “This little old man came up to me saying he was lost. He handed me his mobile and asked if I could speak to his wife,” said Victorian Police Senior Constable Clayton Smith. Steward, who was reunited with his family on Wednesday, said he took the wrong turn and just kept on going. “I just went out on the road to have a drive, a nice peaceful drive,” he told reporters, adding he did not need a satellite navigation device as he’d only been lost once.
