to ask for some electric cars to participate in a parade, he was hoping for a handful. He was pleasantly surprised when four Teslas, four BYDs, and two Kona EVs showed up on Saturday morning.
“The idea of such a gathering to be held in Gayndah came to me after seeing a report on Facebook describing a show that had been organised by the Queensland branch of the AEVA and held in Cleveland. Jon Day’s name was associated with the event and in October 2022 I contacted Jon by email to discuss the possibility of such an event being held in association with the Orange Festival. I was on the festival committee and had responsibility for booking the acts and looking after them on the day.
Majella and I travelled up in Tess from Brisbane to share the joys of driving an electric vehicle and to represent the Tesla Owners Cub of Queensland. The trip from Brisbane to Gayndah on Friday was uneventful. We supercharged in Gympie while we enjoyed a pie and a coffee for lunch. It was a bit of a surprise to find a large fossil-fueled ute parked across two of the four charging bays and, initially, indignation rose within us. As we got closer, we found it had Tesla livery.
“Les and Benita also gave us a loan of their gazebo to provide shade for the participants and the people who were interested enough to ask questions. A special thanks to the Darrows for their help in making the EV Show and Shine work.
