November 11 - 13: Fancy motel with a pool, restaurant, laundry, kangaroos in the distance, and Tesla destination chargers. Really friendly and helpful staff.
We spent way too long trying to rebalance washing machines while trying to get through the backlog of clothes from the previous week. Also squeezed in some paid work on the laptop.
We popped ten minutes down the road to explore the Kershaw Gardens. It’s an oasis of green with kids playground, water jets, waterfalls, walking path through a mini botanic garden.
We have officially run out of Granolaah from Costco in Victoria, so we really need to hurry back south now.
Charging
We had enough range to drive from Mackay to Rockhampton, but we did charge up 10% in Marlborough, while stopped there anyway for the toilet. At Kortes Resort we charged up from the free provided Tesla destination chargers, which are nearly five times faster than a power point. In hindsight, we should have mentioned our EV when booking, because the chargers here are actually in front of a couple of specific rooms.
We talk about going up that way for a holiday every so often. This makes me even more keen to do it.
