Observations... zero EV traffic is rural areas (NOT a Tesla to be seen after we left Melbourne 'burbs) and probably NOT
helped by no charging stations anywhere. None in any of the servos I refuelled at and we also stopped in a few
parks (in Horsham, Gambier, Narracoorte etc) to have that coffee or use the local WC and again zero charging stations.

I did chat to a woman refuelling a Toyota RAV Hybrid in Horsham ... and she is dark on Toyota. Her RAV uses MORE fuel
than her old standard ICE version. Why?... bigger engine than the old and it weighs a tonne (actually 220kg more)
AND at highway speed, the forward motion all comes from the petrol engine! So don't believe the greenies ... and
motor vehicle manufacturers

long way from home...

Where abouts is the Royal Hotel Smitty?

Looks like you would have had a nice road trip mate.
