We had the most wonderful time celebrating our wedding anniversary at Rice’s cabins in the Bunya Mountains. As we arrived, we were greeted with signs warning us of the presence of dingos and wild dogs. Although we saw plenty of wallabies, kangaroos, parrots, and cockatoos, we didn’t spot any canines during our four-day stay.
The journey up to the mountains was a winding and steep one, so we had to charge our Tesla Model 3 at the Superchargers at the City Golf Club in Toowoomba to avoid the dreaded yellow triangle of death. The Bunya Mountains are named after the tall and majestic Bunya pines, which drop huge nuts at this time of year. We were lucky enough to see some of these ancient trees, with their climbing marks still visible on their trunks.
The owner of the cabins was keen to install chargers, as he was losing customers with electric vehicles. We discussed options and charged our car overnight with the door open. We didn’t get any visitors, not even the local possums!
The next day, we went for a walk through the rainforest and admired the vegetation and waterfalls. We stopped for a coffee and cake at the Bunya Tavern, where our Tesla prompted questions from the locals. We even put on a light show for them!
On our way back to Brisbane, we stopped in Blackbutt and were relieved to find that it was all downhill, so we knew we could do it on a full charge. We decided to forego the faster charge at the local garage and made it back home without any issues.
We had an amazing time celebrating our wedding anniversary at Rice’s cabins in the Bunya Mountains. We enjoyed the stunning scenery, spotted plenty of wildlife, and even got to show off our Tesla!
