Forgetting about quarantine at the SA border

Uluru via Stuart Highway 2025

We crossed into South Australia, and realised we had forgotten about quarantine when we packed the fruit. We quickly devoured two mandarins and half an Apple before ditching the rest in the bins near the border.

Stopped for lunch in nearby Bordertown. Subway was an unexpectedly good option.

Can I just take a minute with a “one job” rant:

Whoever designs electronic menus in takeaway restaurants (not limited to Subway): Your job is to show a list of the food buying options so customers can read them. If you make the lists cycle and disappear every few seconds, then we can’t read them! Don’t do that. You had one job!

I saw at least one other couple photographing the menu so they had long enough to read it.

After three years of EV road tripping, Tom finally convinced Francis that having a thermos is a good idea. The staff at the servo were kind enough to fill it up with hot water for us.

Charging

Tesla superchargers just outside Subway, topped the car’s tank up to full again, while we had lunch. Took less time for us to plug in and walk away, than all the people queuing to pay for petrol.
