A cabin stay at Capricorn Caves

October 29-31: Just north of Rockhampton, we stopped for a couple of nights.
The street is just after a collection of rusting old cars, which makes me glad that the Tesla body is pressed aluminium (no rust).
The on site wifi and the phone call reception each only had about one bar of signal strength, so we got a bit creative for internet. Somehow, the Tesla had the best internet connection, so we watched a few episodes of “Upload” in it before bed. Ironically, the story starts in the future with someone dying in a self driving car 😮. For laptop work, we pretended we had StarLink, by positioning an iPhone on the roof of the Tesla, and hot spotting from it.
We cooked meals and took special precaution not to wear another one on a white top.
We quickly chilled a few cans of ginger beer in the freezer, but forgot them for a day. Fortunately, they didn’t explode in there, but they were close!
We took one of the cave tours, which I’ll post separately.
Charging
We arrived with about 80% after charging in Rockhampton. We topped up, while parked next to our cabin, by plugging into the standard power point on the deck. Of course, we checked with reception first. They initially said they didn’t have any EV chargers, but when I explained that a standard power point works, they were very happy for us to plug in.
The cleaners’ buggies also seemed to be electric.
We left with 100% charge for our trip further north to Cape Hillsborough.
It's my arm that's getting operated on, so absolutely we should get lunch, Aaron is home too, it will be good to get out of the house seeing as though I also work from home 🥴
Did you enjoy the place we went to last time? The Grazing Goat?
Grazing Goat it is, is 12.00pm ok because they shut at 2pm.
