Down to the core of our mission 😉: to see if my thermos lid is still on the garden stake…

…where I accidentally left it half a year ago, in the middle of Kosciusko National Park.

We left our lunch stop in Myrtleford and drove through to Corryong, on the western side of the Great Dividing Range. One last stop there for a quick toilet break and a stretch before takling the mountains. Oh, and a symbolic thermos lid of tea (in our second thermos).

It would be dark soon, so we needed to get to Tom Groggin while there was still a glimmer of daylight by which we could search for the missing thermos lid. As you might have guessed and as probability and time would dictate, the first thermos lid was nowhere to be found. We took a photo of the replacement on the stake as a reenactment. It’s now time to move on.

We continued east, past Thredbo and Mount Kosciusko, towards Jindabyne where we would stay the night.

The mountains are beautiful. No snow on this trek through. Dusk brought out the wildlife along the way. Several brumbies, deer and kangaroos had a quizzical look at our car and later dotted the road as we slowed down to avoid them.

Charging:

While we stopped for a few minutes in Corryong, we plugged into the town’s Evie Networks 50kW fast charger. Convenient location, just behind the shops in town. It’s been installed since the last time we came through, when we resorted to the slower 7/11 kW supply at the showground.

It took us about 15 seconds to plug the car in, tap the card and walk away.
