Booking jackpot at Cape Hillsborough
Show 3 more photos Show 9 more photos Hide additional photos
Sometimes it’s a bit of a lottery when booking somewhere new and unseen. Often, we hit the jackpot, like we did here at Cape Hillsborough Nature Tourist Park. It’s a caravan, camping and cabin park, in a national park, with beaches, mangroves, stunning landscapes and rock formations, walks, a couple of kangaroos hopping around the park and a whole mob coming out for sunrise on the beach each morning.
We’ll be making or own meals for a few days. Delicious fruit salad and yogurt is a great start.
Stay tuned for more photos, including the kangaroos on the beach.
Charging
The staff were very helpful. When booking, they said we could plug into a power point at the cabin. But when we got there, we discovered that our particular cabin had no outside power point. We ran the cable through the sliding door to an inside power point, but when the small bugs (midges?) started biting we closed the door fully. I asked at reception and they said I could use the adjacent vacant cabin’s outside power point, and later a vacant caravan site. All 15A (3.6kW) which is pretty ideal for several hours charging, such as when sleeping.
I heard that management was considering installing dedicated faster EV chargers, but the site is already straining their allocated grid supply. So, I mentioned that all EV guests really need is a 15A power point. Hopefully that’s makes it easier long term.
