A magpie-serenaded lunch in Biggenden

Queensland Coast 2023

Kept driving north through the parched Queensland countryside. Stopped at Beiers Park in Biggenden in a rare patch of green and shade to eat our toasted sandwich, while serenaded by a couple of magpies. (See my comment for the serenade video). Then on to Miriam Vale for a fifteen minute stretch under the gaze of the huge bat population (zoom in on the trees in the photo).

Tonight, will stay down the road at Koorawatha Homestead Motel.

Charging

We charged to over 90% at Gympie earlier in the day. We recharged during our fifteen minute stretch in Miriam Vale, only to about 45%, at the QESH/Yurika/Chargefox charger. No need to wait around longer, since we plan to top up to over 90% tonight, while we sleep, at the motel. 12 hours on a 2.4kW power point should give us about 30kWh, which is 50% of our tank.

    1. Kylie Gilroy Somewhere around that, is the plan. It’s just a rough estimate. 45% + 12 x 2.4 / 60 = 93%, not allowing for extra driving, sentry Mode etc
