We took the Mallee Highway to exit South Australia, stopping in Pinnaroo for lunch.

Country town, after 2pm, on a Sunday, not much was open.

Typing “lunch” into the iPhone’s Maps app, and filtering for “Open Now”, showed Demi’s Kitchen, a few blocks from the center of town. Time for a wander, through the town green.

Cute food truck style caravan in her front garden. We took our “super veggie fried rice” and “curry vegetable dumplings” down the road to the Pinnaroo Wetlands park, around the corner from the tractor dealership. All in all, a pretty nice town. Glad we had the chance to explore.

Charging:

There are several RAA/Chargefox chargers along the Mallee Highway. We chose to stop in Pinnaroo for lunch, because it has a fast charging option. I hope the local business chamber gets some feedback about the tourism that comes with this installation.

By the time we had ordered lunch, the car was nearly fully charged, so I grabbed it on the way to the wetlands.

Again, I wish the Tesla navigation was aware of all third party chargers, like this one, so it didn’t unnecessarily warn that we were too far from chargers, when we were on our way to one 🙄.
