From the Barossa to a Singapore chat in Tailem Bend

Uluru via Stuart Highway 2025

We plotted a rough course from the Barossa Valley towards home. First stop at Palmer Lookout, then Tailem Bend, home of a raceway and drag strip, I believe, for “the best coffee in Tailem Bend” from Revival Cafe.

At the Tesla super chargers, a couple from Singapore chatted to us about travelling. They hired their Tesla Model Y in Melbourne, drove through South Australia, and are next headed to Sydney in NSW. They have previously hired an EV from Perth and driven down to around Esperance. I told them I’d post their photo to encourage Australians to road trip in EVs in their own country.

Charging

We prefer to charge while doing something else. The coffee place here was a few kilometres from the charger. So, we had a bit of unused time while waiting for coffee, but charging worked well while we were using the amenities and having a chat. As soon as we were done, we unplugged and drove off. No need to “fill up”.
