We detoured inland, thanks to a suggestion from Greg Hayden, to Eungella National Park.

We managed to spot a couple of platypuses and many turtles at Broken River.

Amazing view, delicious pub dinner, quaint accommodation and friendly staff at The Eungella Chalet.

Charging:

I asked if we could charge the car overnight and was met with a quizzical look and our first “no, I don’t think so”. This was one of probably only two “no”s we had in all of easten Australia. It’s such a missed opportunity for places like this, but it probably needs some promotion and information.

We have more than enough charge to get around, but I just prefer to charge while the car is parked anyway. Also, we are so high up that we will actually charge a bit when we leave in the morning, simply by going downhill, on our way to Mackay.
