Supplies after GCR

What Quarantine station? Been a few years since we travelled that road and there wasn't one there then. Is there one now? Last year when we came over the Nullaboring plane, we were told to peal root veges and that was ok. Errol

To answer the question, based on last time I was there Laverton would not be a place to shop.

Leonora is a reasonable sized town so probably has a half decent supermarket and after that it depends which way you are heading.

Likewise Towns like Mt Magnet and Meekatharra but with fruit and veg it always depends on when they had their last delivery when it comes to freshness and quality

There is a sign and a bin somewhere near Laverton and random inspections can be encountered. Thank you John and Min for your consideration and planning.

We have not shopped in Laverton but but have stocked up in Leonora and found the supermarket satisfactory. I noticed on leaving the store a sign that they offer a discount to Senior Card holders - darn, I missed out on that. It is not far between the two towns. All towns and communities have stocks to meet the needs of locals, so you do not need to go without once you reach "civilisation".

Apart from salads, there are plenty of alternatives with cooked, dried or canned fruit and vegetables to maintain a healthy diet when travelling in the outback. These all pass quarantine.

Note you also cannot bring honey into Western Australia.

As Motherhen notes, Leonora has a good supermarket. When we were there last year they even had fresh bread daily, made on the premises.

Just as a bi-note the road from Meekatharra to Mt Augustus has bee closes since last week and road to Paraburdo also closed
We are at Sandstone waiting for the Sandstone to Meeka to open, the short cut saves about 160ks

Oh dear!! We planned to go down the GCR then head north from Sandstone to Meeka and on to Mt Augustus. Not leaving home (near ACT) until 19 Aug but who knows what this crazy weather will be doing between now and then and what condition roads will be in.

Where would we be without EO forum?

Thanks

For those not yet in the area, you can follow these Road Condition reports.
