Yes but the home button on the right or your picture or video will display upside down in windows.

They are 55km apart with a significant increase in elevation if heading west.

The Gatton location is being incorporated into the Queensland Electric Superhighway.

I just happened to fly into Coolangatta today so had a chance to check for myself. It’s definately CCS Type 2. Yippie, another win for Type 2, (BMW, are you listening?).
PlugShare updated.

That is interesting that it's Type 2. Looking at PlugShare there's only one CCS category - and the symbol is Type 1.
And for the record, Byron Bay Library is definitely Type 1 despite the Type 2 sticker.

Australia is the only country with a mix of CCS1 and CCS2, it wouldn't be worth the effort for PlugShare to split them into two categories.
And their icon for Tesla Superchargers/HPWCs are wrong outside of North America/Japan too. When they get around to fixing that perhaps they'll have region-specific CCS icons too..
I'm not too sure about the UQ Gatton charger being part of the "Eletric Superhighway" officially. I've sent an inquiry to Ivan to find out if anything "official" is happening, but not likely to affect the practical use of the thing in any case.

I've read every post in this thread but I still don't understand what I need to plug into this network in Qld. Is it a CHAdeMO cable, or a Type 2 to Type 2 cable, or either one?

Mostly unnecessary too, if you have no intention of travelling North of Gympie with ease. However, Tesla have a Supercharger slated for Gympie and Toowoomba in 2018...things are progressing well enough, given thta we're ot the hugest(?) market in the world.
Unless you borrow TOCA's loan adapter, then it's pleasingly cheap!
Yes, the membership fees would be worth it, if you were borrowing this a few times a year, or so.

It was Type 1. It has been swapped out for a Type 2 now. So, likely the wrong connector was fitted by Tritium and they have now rectified.
Andrew Wilson at UoQ advises that the Veefil and Tesla chargers at Gatton are to be listed as part of the Electric Highway, but UoQ retains full ownership and conditions of use of that charger will not change. Hopefully, this means that it will remain free of cost even after the Gov ones go to a "user pays" basis.

I wonder if Mennekes Type 2 sockets will be added to bring it into conformance with the rest of the network.
