Fruit and Veg in South Australia

"I guess" he knew about the fruit fly . Who said there was anything wrong with that ?

Dio,

I'm not complaining about depositing my stuff at all and I'm am aware the reasons the no go zones are in place in the various states. I have NO issue at all with that and will and do abide by the law, which I beleived I did ............ BUT the fact I never had a receipt of where I got my veggies in SA if court would have been up for a fine of $2500.00.

I was simply pointing out firstly my lack of knowledge in that VEG was part of the BAN and you MUST have your "receipt" with you if even purchased in SA in the restricted zone. I just found it poorly advertised considering the billions of dollars the industry is worth and where I dropped my stuff there was NO mention of tossing even veggies out (i just did it myself) or the fact you must have a receipt of any fruit or veg purchased.

Basiclly my main reason for the post is to make others aware so they do not fall foul of the law when they have simply not retained a receipt. Who holds onto there fruit and veg receipt geeeeeeezzzzz??

As for the smoking I don't give a sh*t I don't smoke and no one smokes in my vehicle and as for the law for that one no problems with me on that one.

Carrying goods into WA in cardborad fruit cartons e.g. apple cartons is illegal too.
I have seen goods sent over there by Busfreight returned back to the east because they were in fruit cartons.

There yeah go learn something everyday ..... not sure why unopened honey be an issue. Mind you will have forgotten by the time I get to WA :)

Brian

we were told, that honey it self may carry some disease and traces of that may wipe out whole industry. I don't know too much about bees.

What I don't understand why they don't advertised a appropriately?

Governments are put into the power by us, people of Australia, and they should work for all of us.

Thinking about my pet fox.

Just as you enter the outskirts of Broken Hill heading from Cobar their is a fruit dump.We brought fruit (tomatoes)in Broken Hill again and it is labelled.
So you can take it it to SA.

Be careful going west through Broken Hill and on into SA.

There is a bin 10km east of the Hill for people travelling west. It is monitored and from time to time AQIS set up there and do inspections. I know of at least one vehicle which decided to do a runner on the inspector and it cost them at least a day in court.

There is also an inspection station at Oodla Wirra. They will take fruit and beg from you even if it was purchased in Broken Hill. No fdruit gets through potatoes and onions have to be peeled.

Rob, I don't know when you got through with yor tomatoes but I llived in the Hill for nearly 5 years up to last Christmas and every time I went down to Adelaide they stopped, I asked about stuff from BH and they took it off me.

It confuses me really because when you get to Oodla Wirra heading west, or is it south, you are actually leaving the fruit fly exclusion zone. I argued this point with people from the Dept of AG in both states, they agreed that what I say is right but still want all my fruit and veg.

I think it is a ploy to get us outback travellers to stop in Peterborough. Willem doesn't have shares in a fruit shop does he?
