After three days in and around Yeppoon, we headed back inland to Rockhampton.

We parked next to the library and grabbed lunch and a coffee at The Two Professors cafe.

We found Fantastic Furniture to try out some lounge options, much to the amusement of other customers. The lounge is not for the Tesla, but for our soon to be new home in Emerald, Victoria. Not enough boot space to transport it from here, though 😉.

Next, Capricorn Caves.

Charging:

Three days ago we arrived in Yeppoon, with 70% battery charge. There was nowhere in Yeppoon to charge. After a few days trips, sentry mode etc, we left Yeppoon with 20%, arriving in Rockhampton with 9%, (37km) as predicted by the Tesla’s navigation.

We turned off the air con fan for the rear, which was probably triggered by the luggage weight on the back seats.

The Tesla only shows Tesla branded chargers en-route, and warns if it can’t find any. There are no Tesla superchargers in far North Queensland, yet. But we can type in a town’s name and “charge” to navigate to other branded chargers. That took us to the Yurika/QESH/Chargefox charger next to the library, where we have been on previous trips. We had just enough time for lunch by the time the charging reached 97%.
