Heading from Batemans Bay (lunch break) towards Gippsland, Tom thought it would be a…

…great idea to try a new route through Bombala, instead of our typical drive near the south east coast through Bega and Eden.

Francis scrambled to find some accommodation along this diversion, as the sun set. Only one option appeared: The Imperial Hotel in Bombala. King bed, fridge/freezer. Shared bathroom, which turned out to be okay, since there was only one other guest, whom we didn’t even see.

We ordered the special to share for dinner: grilled chicken, satay sauce and veggies. So yum. Had a chat with the cook. Love country pubs.

Charging:

Our last charge was in Batemans Bay. There are no fast chargers or destination chargers out here. We have to make it through to Cann River Tesla Superchargers tomorrow. We arrived in Bombala with 27%. The Tesla navigation predicts we’ll get to Cann River tomorrow with around 5%. We turned off Sentry Mode tonight to conserve what we can.

Parking on the street meant no chance to charge overnight. There is a caravan park up the road, in case we were desperate, and of course hundreds of power points in town
