A couple more stops for a stretch and a wee, along the Bruce Highway, heading south.

First stop at the new Tesla Superchargers in Calliope. I’m told it’s pronounced “cal eye o pee”. These weren’t here on our previous trip in January. They are now the new most northern Tesla Superchargers on the east coast (previously Gympie). Bit of an isolated spot, but a short walk to the service station, cafe and toilet. We only stopped for the few minutes to walk there and back.

The next stop was in Gin Gin, which just happened to have a bakery and a charger. So, this turned into a lunch stop. Interesting main street layout, with a park and toilets on an island between the north and south lanes of the Bruce Highway.

Charging:

We didn’t need to charge. But we did so at each stop, since we were parked anyway. The charger in Calliope is capable of a max speed on our Tesla of 170kW, but for some reason reduced to 39kW. Weird. The charger in Gin Gin is a slower 50kW max, but consistently provided 45kW.
