Day 10 - Port Douglas

Left Ingham @8.30 after breaky at the cafe next the Mosaic alley. 

After a 24 km tour to beaches nearby yesterday we decided head to Cardwell to get quick charge.
Tesla charging there but it had stopped. When he returned he been having trouble with Tritium charger so he headed off to Tully to try it.



Nice location near the beach, toilet and kids playground
  - Cardwell

We charged for 25 minutes at Cardwell enough to get to Innisfail for a last charge before Port Douglas.

At Innisfail charger a Tesla was charging but it had stopped charging. After waiting the owner returned and after some discussion he decided to give us access to see what happens.

We pluged in and every thing worked so the other Tesla driver decided to wait while we charged to get to 80% would have taken 45 minutes. Plugshare was reporting issues at the Port Douglas charger but we decided to stop charging after 25 minutes and hand the charger to the Tesla owner to have a second go.
 
During this time another Tesla turned up and plugged into the AC charger getting 11kw he seemed to be happy wth that. So we headed off Port Douglas and arrived at 3:00 pm.

TGF managed to fit in another tour of the suburbs of Tully.

Unloading all our cases and bags. Breathing a sight of relief we had arrived at Basecamp (Port Douglas) and rest for a week before the final assualt..
