I note (on the map) there is a 'Quarantine' point at
Coen on the way to
Cape York?? Is there any prohibited items or stuff (apart from the booze situation) that can't be taken up that way??

Yes again, just north of
Coen.
No
check going north, full
check going south.
They don't want fruit or vegetables grown north of the checkpoint to travel south again, with the exception of goods purchased in a
supermarket.
They were a bit officious, but not a problem to us. They have little experience in communication with travellers, which is not their fault.
I was pleased to see at least 2 of them doing an honest (half?) days work for their money.

its not just the " actual points" to watch out for......AQIS is everywhere
just stick to the guidelines and you will be fine.. same as the grog laws.
the info is there..
