Green lawns and EV chargers at Port Augusta

Leaving the outback behind, we stayed last night at the Standpipe Golf Motor Inn, in Port Augusta. This is the first green lawn we’ve seen in many days.
Part of the reason we picked this place is because their online profile says it has EV chargers on site. In our booking comment, we mentioned that we’d want to use the EV charging, since that often helps a host allocate a nearby room. Shortly after, they rang us to say that the chargers were out of action. According to PlugShare, they’ve been offline for a long time. Please get them fixed or remove the listing from your booking profile.
In the morning, we crossed the river to the esplanade to grab some breakfast supplies. While parked, we plugged into the RAA/Chargefox EV charger. Very convenient, next to the shops and foreshore, Moreso than the Tesla chargers up the road, which we used last time.
We also gave a brief interview to Nick from Yahoo News Australia, about our recent EV charging experience in the outback. I hope the editing highlights the positive.
Next, onto the Barossa Valley, but not before passing a few more road trains, including the very wide load pictured. I’m guessing it’s a boat hull?
