Beautiful trip! I have exciting news to share with you. My family and I are moving to Brisbane. I have just arrived at my government isolation space in the Gold Cost. It is such a beautiful day today. I got up early today at 3am Queensland time). I am tired but could not wait to share our news with you. Thanks for your inspiration!

[@BethandPaultravel]

Hi Hanelie 🤗 That’s great news! We’re very happy for you 😊 You’ll notice the ☀️ rises very early in Summer in Qld 😉 we hope your time in quarantine goes quickly so you can get out and about to explore your new state ❤️

Wow. Thanks for the lovely drive. We went to Gympie in 2003. It was a really lovely town. The people were so friendly ☺️. Can't wait to see Airlie beach. I hope you get to see the kangaroos on the beach at daybreak.😊 Enjoy the rest of your trip 🚗☺️🚗

[@BethandPaultravel]

Thanks Carol 🤗 yes, Gympie is a nice town and is a popular choice for people who can’t afford the increasing housing prices on the Sunshine Coast😊 Ah yes, the 🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘at Cape Hillsborough…how could we not go there?! Have a great weekend!!!

Thank you for another great video. All those places look so much different to when I saw them backpacking 21 years ago. My 20 year dream to emigrate is nearly here, 4 more months, and can’t wait to see it all again. See you next week.

A beautiful drive to some beautiful towns . The weather so nice. What a difference in energy expense with the Tesla vs. a gas-powered vehicle. Great video!. Your biggest fans, Harriet and Jim Richmond, Va.

[@BethandPaultravel]

Thanks so much Harriet and Jim 🤗 we’re really happy that you enjoyed this one 😊 Yes, the Tesla even surprised us, we fully expected some ‘range anxiety’ during the trip, but there were plenty of electric charging stations along the way 🤗

I came across your channel randomly as I am procrastinating trying to finish my assessment today, you inspired me with your distant education story, as I am also studying distant education online with Charles Sturt University, I have the convenience to submit my assignments and receive the results online, yet here you are posting your assignment and receiving your results through the mail, also collecting your mail from the post office, albeit from rural Gippsland...thank you for the very much kick in the butt that I needed today...Enjoying your videos and very much looking forward to doing a roadtrip up to Rockhampton, Airlie Beach and Cairns soon...Positive vibes, safe travels and peace be with you...

[@BethandPaultravel]

Hi @House 🤗 Aren’t looming uni assignment deadlines the worst?! Yes, so much has changed in the last 18 years when I was doing my degree. But one thing is for sure, distance education can be more difficult….you need to be more driven and try to get less distracted. The good thing is that as time passes so do those deadlines and you’ll get closer to the results you want, so you can do what you want to do….including taking a trip up North ☀️ We truly wish you all the very best with your studies ❤️

[@emmahale1662]

Another great film and I can’t wait to see your next instalment about Airlie Bay. I loved the story about you getting your results and the whole village knowing! Guess what??? We are finally here- well in quarantine- but here at last! Your films have really kept us going while we were waiting to come out to Australia. Thank you!! 😊😊😊

[@BethandPaultravel]

Thanks Emma 🤗 CONGRATULATIONS and WELCOME ❤️ to Australia 🇦🇺 We’re really happy for you guys and hopefully your time in quarantine will go quickly 😊 Then you can go out and experience some of the places you’ve seen on our videos 🤗

Good trip! Beautiful city. The “D” story is very funny. They should use better envelopes.

[@BethandPaultravel]

Hi @orangemikan100 🤗 yes, true story! At the time, I couldn’t understand why everyone was saying congratulations, I thought they were ‘assuming’ my results would be good. When I got home and opened the envelope, my heart sank when I saw the big “D”….there were no comments, just a big D. 🙄

We look forward to seeing more of Airlie next week. You’ve sold us on the Tesla! ❤️❤️

Thanks @The BAM Famalam in Australia 🤗 Yes, we’re pretty happy with the Tesla so far 😊 Until we went on this road trip, we really didn’t know how comfortable and cheap it would be. It was also really comfortable 😉

We're a while off of getting one, but one day!! We hope you have a great time in Airlie ❤️

[@BethandPaultravel]

Thanks 🤗

[@jenniclark1064]

Love the D story 😄 and the way the whole town found out, typical small town 😀 It really seems electric cars are cheaper to run as well as the fact that they’re good for climate change.. gorgeous buildings and beautiful weather.. great video 😀

[@BethandPaultravel]

Thanks Jenni 🤗Yes, it was a REALLY small town ha ha. We're really pleased with how quiet our car is and how cheap it is to run. We really enjoyed this road trip and the car made it just that bit better.

Hi Mark & Michelle 🤗 Wonthaggi is a great spot, we know it well 😊 We’re really happy to hear that our videos are inspiring you to travel. Our recent travels have shown us there are many small businesses hanging on by a thread right now….waiting for travel to return to normal. So, we will happily continue making little trips in Queensland until other states become more accessible. We do have hopes to return to Vietnam, Malaysia and Thailand one day, when it’s safe to, but that may not be for a while yet. 🤗🤗🤗

[@juliecullis5203]

Fantastic road trip - can't wait to see more of Airlie beach, it looks stunning! We enjoyed the story in the middle too of your results, heehee. My husband is curious to know how long it generally takes to charge the Tesla each time? Thanks again! :)

[@BethandPaultravel]

Hi Julie ❤️ we’re really happy that you’re enjoying our road trip so far! Different chargers can take different amounts of time to charge an electric vehicle. For example Tesla Superchargers take only 15 to 25 minutes to charge, whilst the 240v connections on normal PowerPoints would take around 10 hours. The Queensland Government has installed 31 fast chargers with another 18 planned around our state. We have 3-phase power at home and are able to charge our car at 7kW per hour compared to the normal 2kW per hour at home. Having solar power and mainly charging during sunlight hours makes it virtually free ☀️

[@juliecullis5203]

@@BethandPaultravel thank you so much, that's really useful to know! That's fantastic with being able to charge virtually free at home with solar power as well. We're just about to watch your next video! :)

[@mehmetodabas4035]

Wery good

[@BethandPaultravel]

Thanks Mehmet 😊 we hope you’re enjoying your weekend ☀️

[@imogenmee5154]

Looks like a great trip. Do you have to stop at all the towns to charge up or can you just skip a town.

[@BethandPaultravel]

Hi Imogen 😊 Good Question! We were able to skip towns, so we really only stopped when we wanted to take a break from driving, to get a coffee or to have lunch. Usually we would just ‘top up’ which is quick and meant that our car was charging whilst we were getting our sandwich etc. This trip gave us a chance to work out whether “range anxiety” would be a thing and thankfully it wasn’t. Qld gov has put in plenty of chargers up the eastern coast and are now installing them out west. In addition to this there are more and more EV chargers being installed at shopping centres etc that are available to use too 😉

[@lillianlilo7447]

Funny story!! That's a breach of privacy!! I'd be so mad!! Especially if it was a fail grade.

[@BethandPaultravel]

Thanks Usmam 🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@Mick_4591]

Any particular reason as to why you dont recharge to 100%?

[@BethandPaultravel]

Hi @OzMick 🤗 Good Question! One reason is because fast charging slows down as you get closer to 100%. The other reason is that we use an App (ABRP) which tells us what we need to get to the next place.

[@Mick_4591]

@@BethandPaultravel Thank you

[@BethandPaultravel]

No worries 😉 we have just made a quick trip from home (Sunshine Coast) to Melbourne….$11 charging in total and haven’t spent anything on our way back (so far) NRMA has free fast chargers which have been great 😊
