Top pub and top motel in Yackandandah

We aimed for Yackandandah tonight, as it's one of our favourite places to stop. One of our favourite motels is here too: Motel Views, so named because ... well, you can figure that out.

On the way, we crossed the border back into Victoria, and back to the potholes. There's a new twist, though. Many of the filled-in ones still have the painted warning circles around them, which were helpful when there was a hole inside. Now we steer around potholes that are no longer there, and the circles around the ones that are still there play the boy who cried wolf.

For dinner, we drove straight to the top pub, the Star Hotel Yackandandah. Not to be confused with its fierce rival, the bottom pub (the Yackandandah Hotel). To our surprise, it was a quiet night, and we were one of just two couples eating. We had some laughs with the staff, as they explained that many in this holiday town had gone away on holidays.

One of the deciding factors was the fast charger just out the back, though it's actually close enough to the whole main street. We parked next to a BYD Seal, and its owner jokingly asked if we were supposed to be rivals. I said "we're all electric". He's a local, and offered not to plug in if it would slow down ours. Very kind. I said it didn't matter, since we're in no hurry.

Returning to the car after dinner, I snapped a shot of it charging under the Southern Cross.

In the morning, we returned to the pub for breakfast, only to find that it isn't served every day, so we settled for a savoury muffin, a toastie and coffee.

Final leg home today.
