Three Japanese tourists found themselves in an embarrassing situation after their GPS led them to drive right into the muddy waters of Moreton Bay.

The trio were trying to get to North Stradbroke Island in Queensland yesterday when they took the wrong turn.

They travelled about 500m through mangrove mud, apparently unaware of the 15km of water separating them from their destination.

Yuzu Noda, 21, said their GPS guide "told us we could drive down there".

The students said the GPS 'kept saying it would navigate us to a road'.

The car was covered by insurance, but they will have to pay $1500 in excess fees.

A little common sense sure would have come in handy. Huh?

You would have to be pretty darn stupid to drive through mud! laugh3 Don't they know that GPS systems are not always correct?
