After staying overnight with our friends in Budgeree, we followed their BYD Atto 3 a few kilometers north to Cafe 3869 in Yinnar. We had the biggest coffee we’ve ever seen. It was like a bucket-o-chino!
We started heading north-ish, past the Loy Yang Coal Fired Power Station, and giant open cut coal mines with lots of sprinklers to try to contain the dust 😷.
We stopped in Bairnsdale for a brief break for the toilet and a stretch. A ute had ICEd one of the charging bays, but the signage doesn’t clearly state that they can’t. We walked through the large park that seems to divide the main road in town.
Then properly north along the Great Alpine Road towards Bright.
Charging
The Tesla Superchargers in Bairnsdale were installed in the past few months, since we’ve last been through here. As always, super easy to use. Just park, plug in, walk away. No card, cashier, queue or waiting. It probably took 20 seconds of my time for the charging. By the time we returned from the toilet, it was all done. We unplugged at drove away.
It's a great area down there. During the worst phase of my inoperable sciatica, I used to drive from Melb's eastern suburbs down to and around that area a lot. I didn't get out of the car much - as I had a bad habit of collapsing due to the "pain", so I didn't get to enjoy the wonderful coffees and the like. I'm so glad you two (three with the model 3) do. It's nice to see the places you visit. :)
I’m not sure if they have any free chargers at Loy Yang.
