Great Central Road

From ABC news:

Western Australia's quarantine service has set up a temporary third road inspection checkpoint to establish whether a permanent station is needed in central WA.

The WA Quarantine and Inspection Service arrived at Laverton in the northern goldfields last week to begin a 20-week survey of traffic using the Great Central Road, which runs through Alice Springs and into Queensland.

Currently WA's only permanent road inspection points are at Kununurra and Eucla, in the north and south of the state.

Senior Inspector Bruce Hastings says all traffic coming from outside WA will be searched.

He says the survey may lead to a permanent station being set up to protect the state from pests such as fire ants and cane toads.

"With the mining boom and the way it's going, we've got to be very careful that contaminated mining machinery's not entering in the state and going to remote site and contaminating those sites with weed seeds and harmful organisms," he said.

Thanks for your input. We are planning a trip eventually arriving at Warakurna Roadhouse approx end May. From there we were planning on stocking up on some freshies and travelling up the Sandy Blight Track. Will the quarantine station be set up before or after the Sandy Blight turnoff. As we will be purchasing the goods in WA will they be ok? Many thanks for any info
