Thetraveljunkie.org – The other day, We woke up at 5am to go for a 5:30am e-scooter. It sounds a bit hard core, but our reason is that we feel that we prefer to go when there are less cars, less pedestrians and fewer other cyclists on the shared pathway! Not to mention, watching the sun rise on the Coolum Beach in Sunshine Coast is a just beautiful. We rode 26km from Coolum Beach to Twin Waters Beach (return) along the Coastal Pathway in 2 hours. Including a 30 minute stop for a cup of coffee at Liitle Boat Espresso.

People all over the world are starting to radically reimagine travel and commutes with electric vehicles (EVs) and see that these are better for the environment than internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. However here on the Sunshine Coast we still lack the basic infrastructure, such as sealed roads, footpaths, bike lanes to allow the realisation of these technologies.

Thetraveljunkie.org – Worldwide e-scooter use is booming, forecast to surpass half a billion rides globally this year. What a fun day! Ferry from Sorrento to Queenscliff, a picnic lunch by the sea at Point Lonsdale then exploring beautiful wetlands by electric scooter. We stoppped at Lake Victoria, a shallow sub-coastal lagoon forming part of the Swan Bay systems of wetlands on the Eastern Bellarine Peninsula, south-east of Geelong. It is part of the Lonsdale Lakes Nature Reserve administered by Parks Victoria. Lake Victoria, although it varies in water level, provides a relatively stable environment for waterbirds, maintaining its high salinity even when full and never drying out in summer. Saltmarsh is the dominant vegetation around the lakeshore. It is a natural lake but has been modified by shell-grit mining. Water enters the lake through urban run-off, rainfall and slow seepage.

Thetraveljunkie.org – This time, we’d share what we got up to on a day in Queenscliff, Australia. The weather has just been lovely for outdoor activity. We took our electric scooter across to Queenscliff on the ferry and rode from Searoad Ferries Terminal to Point Lonsdale Lighthouse, in highlights such as Swan Bay; the distinctive Marine and Freshwater Discovery Centre, with its unique grass covered roof; the shoreline of Port Phillip Bay, and with views across the Heads to Point Nepean. This route switches from a bike trail to beach promenade as it zooms between these two adorable towns – one of the best electric scootering routes in Victoria. Stopped in Point Lonsdale for a cup of coffee, fish and chips lunch and enjoyed the pretty views on the smooth of asphalt track. This is an easy and flat ride that we can tack on to many of the other rides if we’re feeling a bit more adventurous. It was all fantastic.
