Past a huge solar farm to Woolooga

We headed north west from Eumundi. Stopped briefly at the shopping center in Gympie, then on past one of the biggest solar farms we’ve seen, in Woolooga. Stopped to grab a toasted sandwich and pat a dog at Woolooga Trader Coffee Co, then on towards Biggenden.

We picked this route, just because we hadn’t taken it before. The road wound through more very dry landscape, with sections of narrow roads (one sealed lane shared by both directions), dirt road, cattle grates, unfenced cattle next to the road.

We arrived in Gympie, to use that Tesla Supercharger for the first time. It’s great to have shade in the covered car park. But there are no signs, so it took a couple of laps to find it. The signage really needs improving at sites like this.

We arrived with 15% battery, having not charged since leaving Victoria Point (Brisbane) a few days ago.

Plugshare shows the carpark entry to take for the Gympie supercharger. I found it in my first attempt following the instructions in plugshare, when we charged on the way to Rainbow beach a few months ago.

Dinesh Mahadevan Thanks. We took the correct entry to the carpark, but PlugShare didn’t seem to have directions within the carpark. In any case, I think the carpark should have a simple sign pointing the right way.
