Most likely - although I did include photos of both in my original email, expecting this...
Anyway, we will see!

Observation & speculation incoming:
Of the 4 most recently opened SCs in Australia, 3 are in urban areas (Moonee Ponds, Macquarie Park, Camberwell).
From various Tesla groups on FB, there are rumours of two more coming relatively soon. Frankston, and one in SW Sydney (near Crossroads). And also one coming near Geelong. Note that these are all urban areas. (I also emphasise that they are all rumours - apart from the Frankston location they are not on Tesla's "coming soon" map)
My speculation: Tesla are building out the urban locations now with V2 superchargers because they are not going to build out the regional/highway locations until V3 is available.

Or Chargefox and NRMA are taking all the good regional locations? I guess we’ll wait and see
ChargeFox just built in Ballarat and we've already got a SC, I've contacted them to try and see if they'll do something in Shepparton Victoria as there is no DC options around there unless you head 40km to Euroa.
I've spoken to the Shepparton Council and they're going to have some public chargers available at the new Shepparton Art Museum once it's built, and they also mentioned introducing other infrastructure in the area in the near future. They didn't mention specifics about what sort of chargers though.

Those of you after a Geelong site, take a look at the Barrabool Hills Plaza in Highton. The owner of that centre owns 6 shopping centres and two of them are the Bendigo and Gympie supercharger host sites. This is all speculation from me, but Tippo (who many of you know) has been dropping hints about activity in Geelong on FB for some time. So, it might be worth keeping an eye out. The location is perfect (being on the outskirts of Geelong, serving the city and also highway travellers passing through).
They also own the Colac Plaza, but there hasn't been any suggest that Tesla is looking to build there.

Chuq, There are already 2 Destination Chargers at Colac Plaza, adjacent to the new Coles Supermarket.

Interesting, this might mean that when the time comes they already have an EV-friendly host site sorted. Might not be on their "coming soon" map now but it's good to have a forward plan, we all know how long these things can take!

That would be nice wouldn't it! I had thought we'd see them get a few of these done and ready for Model 3 / Y, but nah.

Using SPAusNet for an excuse/reason for a 3 year delay is a bit rich at best...

The Happy Valley Hotel owner told me that the Ovens chargers could have been installed 2 years before, the delay was down to AusNet
The ship is heading to Melbourne - no surprise there. All of the energy products go to Victoria. So this could go anywhere. They are on Brotonne Bridge arriving about Sept 16, but there are possible earlier port delays possible for the ship in Sydney.

The 'coming soon' superchargers are listed at Perth, Traralgon, Lakes Entrance, Mansfield, Torquay, Frankston and Brisbane. I think Lakes Entrance holds the record for the longest 'coming soon' on the list.

Three years and waiting for a SC to be opened near base of Mt Buller (such as in Mansfield) like promised....if Tesla do not have in by next Winter we may start to regret being a fully 2x EV household....come on Tesla you can do better than this!
