Day 09 - Ingham

Left Bowen early 8:30 after breaky at nice cafe that had great setup that some military were eating breakfast also.

We set off with 70% charge and shorter day drive. The drivers agreed that the drive was more tiring. Not sure of the reason..but when I did the same drive from Melbourne to Cairns with 3 mates 2 cars in early 1960s as a fit 20 yr old and felt the same tiring fealing as we came into the humid weather.

Interesting drive eventuated as we approached the Township of Ayr "The Google Folosie" (to refer to as TGF) directed us down a side road through small rural roads and eventually back to the Bruce highway.
We couldn't figure out what happened but I did notice a lack of traffic behind us once we rejoined the highway.

But TGF hadn't finished we were directed to an EV charger in the city of Townsville that we couldn't manage to get to work for us. 
So after referring to plugshare manage to convince TGF to direct us to a charger in the grounds of James Cook University.
Eventually a helpful security guard was able to direct us to the charger. Found a cafe and toilets to occupy time enough to get another 80% charge

Glad to get to Ingham and relax..

Looking forward to tomorrow
