Eggs and a hilltop view at Rosewood Park, Yarragon

We stayed last night at a Rosewood Park Guest Suite, on a hill overlooking Yarragon Victoria. We cooked up some (supplied) eggs and muffins for breakfast, grabbed a coffee (down the road in Yarragon), and hit the road. This morning we’re heading towards Tuross Head in NSW – 600km, 7 hours of driving, along the south east coast of Victoria.
Charging
We’ll just charge along the way when we stop for lunch or the loo. There are at least two new charging sites along the way (Bairnsdale and Cann River) which weren’t there when we traveled in the reverse direction just a few months ago.
The Tesla navigation is only aware of the Tesla chargers, so advises us to charge at Moe and Cann River, but we’ll skip them and instead use something else (non Tesla) wherever we end up stopping anyway (eg for lunch). We’ve turned off the “Trip Planner” option, so it doesn’t direct us to the Tesla superchargers, or precondition the battery along the way. But it tells us we’ll arrive in Tuross Head with -72% battery charge 😉.
We’re confident to not really plan the stops, just be aware of the options when we need them.
I'd like to know how many kms on the car now ? We've done 5500km in 2 months living in Gippsland. Our Model Y had 10,500 on it when we purchased it used from nsw.
Today, the car is at 37,403km, in Tuross Head. We’re will have had the car one year, on August 31.
Many people stay in Rawson and then tour the area including going to Walhalla, Erica, Thompson dam and Mount BawBaw.
Rawson was constructed for the building of the Thompson Dam.
We brought a block here in 2019 and built a kit home off grid. Charge the car off grid.
Garage, 30kwh AGMs, 8.2kw solar, 1 x 5kw hybrid inverter for garage fridge, garage power and house pump, 1 x 5kw hybrid inverter for ev charging and sending power to the house if house system is low on charge. We can put 3500kwh into the ev every 12 months.
