New Alcohol Restrictions

G'day Troopytrek,

Someone I know had a contact in QLD Govt to do with this subject. I am doing a similar trip and asked about this a couple of months back, they advised WA and the NT have a different type of restricted area - usually in relation to licensed premises that have been trialled in different sites, like Tennant Creek. I'm taking this to mean that the rules are less draconian than those in Qld.

No websites to help you, sorry.

Kind regards

We also have a camper trailer with a tinnie that is loaded onto the camper trailer.We could meet along the way on the GRR! Hope to take approximately a month to darwin a month to Broome and then the trek home a month. This all depends as to what we find along the way and the fact that we are travelling on our own.When I receive my membership details I will get in contact again. Our Troopy is getting there as far as getting prepared for the trip, we have UHF,roof console ,alloy roof rack,electric winch,ARB B/Bar,Kamar rear B/Bar with twin wheel holders,rear draw system,cargo barrier,dual batteries,twin cibie oskar lights,BFG muddies with alloy rims,factory f/r diff locks and we will also have HF or Sat Phone . Camper Trailer is an offroad swan camper we have owned this for 6years and have been remote camping for approximately the same time.We are farely well set up just fine tunning now for this trip , the vehicle I mentioned before we have only owned for 4 months some of the gear came from our previous vehicle but not much as we chose to upgrade with alot of new componants. This is our first trip to the outback though. But have extensive experience in offroad racing and contacts with the Endeavour Rally Group. We are Member of the Australian Motorsport Enthusiasts Club Inc.We do alot of the recovery for the offroad meets in and around the Darling Downs region.

Kind regards

Hi Troopytrek,

I don't know about the other states but here is a good site regarding queensland.

This is the place to go regarding Qld.

Link to Qld Liquor Licensing

G'day Troopytrek

You'll find that through north west towns in WA that the rules differ from town to town. Apart from the State Liquor Licensing laws most towns also have a Local Accord that restricts/modifies existing laws to suit local requirements. For example Kununurra has accord that restricts the trading hours of liquor outlets from opening until 12 midday, no sales of fortified wines Wednesdays and Thursdays and no walk up purchases of liquor from drivethrough outlets after 6.00pm.
Just something for you to be aware of as you travel.

Cheers
Wal
