Inland to Eungella, on a tip from Greg

NSW → QLD Road Trip 2022–23

We detoured inland, thanks to a suggestion from Greg Hayden, to Eungella National Park. We managed to spot a couple of platypuses and many turtles at Broken River.

Amazing view, delicious pub dinner, quaint accommodation and friendly staff at The Eungella Chalet.

Charging

I asked if we could charge the car overnight and was met with a quizzical look and our first “no, I don’t think so”. This was one of probably only two “no”s we had in all of easten Australia. It’s such a missed opportunity for places like this, but it probably needs some promotion and information.

We have more than enough charge to get around, but I just prefer to charge while the car is parked anyway. Also, we are so high up that we will actually charge a bit when we leave in the morning, simply by going downhill, on our way to Mackay.

  3. If you are interested in going towards Toowoomba, at Hampton. It had EV charging on site. Very nice rooms and great views over the range down to Lockyer Valley. Let me know if you want the name.

  5. I've still never seen a platypus in the wild. I will add this place to my list.
