Was hoping to use it next week but it ain't going to be finished by then. Never mind, will be excellent when it is up and running!

Supercharger - Cann River, Vic

Hmm, technically no Tesla gear on site yet. I don’t want to mark as “construction” pre-empirically like I almost did with the Bondi Junction one!
Keep the photos coming
With Cann River and Mt Gambier, I believe it'll be possible to drive the Princes Hwy from Adelaide to Sydney using Superchargers the whole way.

Update photo of current state of Cann River site. The three telltale Tesla concrete pads are present in the photo here.
From:
Electric vehicle charging stations
A network of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations is underway in public carparks across East Gippsland. The following are now open to the public and are a mix of Council owned and privately operated EV chargers: 5 Wolseley St carpark, Orbost - 50kW DC dual plug

Will a plugshare "Cann River Supercharger" site get created auto-magically from upstream source like supercharge.info?
I guess the etiquette for co-located sites is still two plugshare entries even though clicking on the right one in plugshare itself is problematic.
It will magically appear when the site goes live and Plugshare syncs with the official Tesla map data. Yep, there will be two entries (as one will be Tesla-synced and generally not directly editable, the other will be a standard crowd-sourced contribution).
Per the Princess Highway thread, appears the 50kW chargers will be installed in Coming Weeks.
Whereas "External electric vehicle charging providers, including Tesla, will also be augmenting the network in the coming months."
(Note that statement presumably refers to Cann River and Bairnsdale)

You can just charge at Sale if you are not tracking. Any sort of DC fast charger should allow all Teslas to run the coast road since it is only 163km from Cann River to Bega where you can pick up the NRMA charger or 243km to Narooma where you can pick up the Supercharger. Currently it is a 395km run from Sale to Bega, which is pushing it, certainly in my 2019 M3P without using hypermiling techniques.
ABRP tells me I could do it with 13% left, or 8% left in poor weather (5 degrees, rain). That's with a 60 kWh RWD though - an earlier Model 3 (2019-2021) would be a bit tighter.
Agree with all that. Can River to Cooma Supercharger is also easily doable if you're heading that way - 174km though a big elevation rise, but still well within the capabilities of even a 2019 SR+.
No more photos have appeared on Plugshare for a couple of weeks. I know it's a bit out of the way, but anyone heading through the region soon? Or seen pictures shared on other forums/groups?
The only real progress I have seen is the charger going in at Orbost. That is installed but not active yet. Hopefully that will be online very soon, will make travel in that area a lot better.

If I go to Lakes Entrance for the PSM meetup on November 4th I may just go a bit further and check at least some of these out. Super excited to be able to do that run without stress or hassle! Of course without Orbost being online, it might be a real struggle for me to get to Cann River and back. Likely other people will have made it by then.
The EVie charger at Port of Sale seems pretty reliable. Only 75kW, but a lifesaver!
I wouldn't be one but worried about doing Cann River to Narooma in our LFP RWD. From Bombala to Canberra 210 km about 55% and that's on a cold day. The very worse range we have achieved was 330km and that was going Bombala, Bega, Tilba, Bermagui, Bega back up the Brown mountain ( 10km all up) and home 
Council link in Plugshare says the council ones should all be online December 1st

I see the site reference 'Mid December'.
'UPDATED COMPLETION DATE FOR STAGE 1 IS MID DECEMBER 2022'
