Misty drive from Tubbut to Orbost

Heading south, out of the Snowy Mountains, from my overnight camp near Tubbut, towards Orbost. Beautiful mist topped mountains, after last night’s rain.
After about 20km of dirt road, I spotted tar, and another sign warning that there’s no petrol around here.
Charging
I charged earlier this morning in Tubbut, while having breakfast and a shower. Great facilities for such a remote location. It’s only a slow charger, which topped me up 40% battery. I generally only charge while parked anyway, rather than waiting around.
The navigation says I’ll get to Orbost with 11% charge, which is fine. There’s a fast charger there for me to use while I have lunch. Disappointingly, the Tesla’s Trip Planner doesn’t recognise the Chargefox charger in Orbost as a charging destination, so doesn’t realise that will give me enough to get home. It tried to reroute me the long way around, south east through Cann River, where there is a Tesla Supercharger. I have played this game before, so I just turned off “Trip Planner” to force it to take me directly through Orbost.
