When we arrived, we were told that there were no electric cars available, and they had "upgraded" us to the same model, just internal combustion.

It is a nice car to drive, but I don't think it is as nice as the electric one.

In August last year, we travelled to Brisbane and hired a BMW electric car.

We (I) loved driving it so much, we hired another one for our trip to Hobart. Especially because the place we are staying has free recharging.

Our local quoll showed up again and this time I actually managed to get a decent picture. This might be the best thing that has ever happened to me. #auswildlife #wildoz #marsupial #mammal

Australia Day is celebrated and debated by people with different perspectives, but I think that they could all agree Australia needs wombats.
