Lunch at Larder & Thyme in Ferntree Gully. Lunch was so good that we also bought dinner there to take home. Lots of yummy home-style cooked meals available.

We had the car cleaned at Magic Car Wash FTG, including removal of months of jeans stain from my white seat. Back to bright white.

Charging

Perfect opportunity to charge while parking, at the nearby JOLT Charge at Ferntree Gully Station.

We upgraded from Jolt’s free 7kWh per day plan to the $10/month for 10kWh included free per day plan. Initially the app showed the charging in “special” gold, but now seems to be back to green.

The PlugShare app also went through a weird update for a couple of weeks where the “Charging Now” check-in option was removed. Can’t fathom why, since that’s half of the usefulness of the app. Thankfully, they later restored that option.

    Oh I meant to mention, I found those bee stings up here in a shop opposite Coles in Mackay CBD. I couldn't partake but the girls enjoyed. "Cream doughnut" on the right.

    I'm torn between keeping up with all the chargers you use and share with us and the great foodie places you visit. So good to see someone enjoy what they do.
    For now I'll live vicariously through your posts

    I noticed a new colour on the plugshare app, for charging stations- a lighter brown- it turned out to be an indicator that the station was in use!
    Only showing for certain brands of fast chargers that make that data available to api

      Jill Clarke Yes, and it now shows in text how many chargers at a site are in use, for some charging brands. It seems that this info is gradually being published.

    Is there ANY chance of you settling down? ..... Shades of your old man there; the open road and leave all responsibilities behind.🤩

      Lesley Brodhurst-Hill Okay Mum, we’ll find a house this week, just because you’re tired of our travels. And then we’ll go travelling again 😉.
