An instructor from The Space Base years ago landed at what he thought was Forrest (large airfield with NS & EW sealed runways), 'cept it was south of the railway line, not north, and strewn with rocks etc.

He's one of QF's finest now.

The point? Dirt strips in the out-back are a dime a dozen and not too difficult to mix up. Now if he landed at CB instead of SY, or some where with identifying aids, well that would be news-worthy.
