QLD Drive Day – Toowoomba via the Lakes
Gathering at the Springfield Lakes Chargefox/QESH charger from 8AM we will depart at 8:30AM for Cormorant Bay. With two stops to check out the view at Cormorant Bay and The Spit we will then start heading toward Toowoomba via the scenic route, with a coffee stop at Esk. Hampton is just a waypoint to keep us on the scenic route, no stop is planned there.
Arriving at the Toowoomba SC about 12:30 we will have lunch at the Toowoomba Golf Club.
After lunch we have not made any concrete plans but there are a few suggestions depending on how much time you have, including:
- Directly home – about 1:30 to Brisbane or 2:15 to the Gold Coast
- Via Cunningham’s Gap – about 2:30 and 200km to Brisbane, 3:15 and 244km to the Gold Coast
- Stay the afternoon and get in a round of golf!

Charging
Long Range cars should be able to complete the whole trip if you leave Brisbane at 90-100%. Standard Range cars will need to top up in Toowoomba whilst we have lunch. There are four Supercharger bays and a Type2 socket available.
