We continued south, crossing the Clarence River on the Harwood Bridge, near Maclean, then…

…headed east to find coffee in Yamba. Had a bit of a stretch and explore there at Turners Beach, just under the Yamba Lighthouse.

Then back on the road to Woolgoolga for lunch at the Beachouse Cafe. The Tesla navigation plotted what I guess it thought was the shortest route to Woolgoolga Beach, but the turn off from the Pacific Highway turned out to be a long windy dirt road through monotonous terrain, so we aborted immediately and headed back onto the highway. The underlying Google Maps sometimes doesn’t seem great at determining or showing road conditions when plotting a route.

Charging:

We left Ballina with about 90% charge from the power point on the deck of our glamping tent. No chargers at our stops at Yamba or Woolgoolga (but there are in nearby locations such as Maclean). We grabbed a nine minute charge at the Tesla Superchargers in Coffs Harbour, then continued on towards Kempsey.
