WA boarder check

Leigh, check the posts last week, there was a link to a quarantine site that might help you. Another alternative is to "process" your vegies etc so that they comply with the regulations. When we were in the Kimberlies several years ago, there was a roving type inspector who would camp out in isolated locations checking out peoples vehicles. We live in a fruit fly risk area and one of our (community) concerns is that travellers smuggle fruit and vegies through the road blocks and put at risk the livelihoods of all the local primary producers. Give some more thought to your idea of bi-passing the quarantine inspection points.Alpaca

I want to try and infect Western Australia with fruit fly......What is the best way for me to do this?.........

That is how i read your post Leigh................_____________________________________________

It really is so simple.........

Check the quarantine regulations for entry into WA and don't carry the fruit or the vegies, or boxes or jams etc which are prohibited.

Why try and deliberately smuggle possible infected fruit or vegies into a state and jeopardise the horticultural industry.

These controls are for our own good and not some fetish of State Governments.

Surely you can do without those few meagre restricted items for a few days?

the quarrentine staion is there not only to stop you bringing in fruit & veg but to stop you bring in seeds attached to your car, there are a great many plants & weeds that are capable of crippiling both our wheat & sheep industries,so do the right thing & even if it is out of your way, dont avoid the check point but bloody well go out of your way to go to it & get the all clear,ask your self do you realy want to be responsable for the destruction of an entire industry.

Leigh,
enough said about the quarantine thing but you should also reconsider the way you are going to do Goog's track.
They are trying to make it one way for safety and travel should be from South to North.We have so little time to enjoy our land

Hi all
Heres something for everyone to ponder.......back in January this year My wifes sister and husband and my wife and myself , both travelled acroos the nully in our 4wds both towing camper trailers , Well we stopped at a place called Koonalda homstead for a few days , and after having a good look around our vehicles became very covered in mud, (must of had a fair amount of rain there)..anyway after leaving koonalda we proceeded across the nully , we reached the fruit fly inspection point , and as usual done the norm and declared what fruit and whatever else we were supposed to, (didnt have much as we had been here several times b4) anyway after going thru our vehicles the fella asked us if we could drive about a hundred yards up the road to the wash bay , well he brings up a pressure washer and asks us if we could wash all mud of our cars and campers .....no probs , only the pressure washer wouldnt work , so i said ok we can just wash them with the hose witout the pressure washer , to wich he said "No dont worry about it , just drive on"...we kinda figured what was the point in making us declare any veg and friut whatever , and then he says that ......so much for caring about infecting W.A...........cheers Dave

Leigh, If your going up the borders of WA/SA keep your eyes peeled for a 1991 White Ford Stn Waggon with wa rego 80L 948 my son was last seen at Cockabiddy WA, he is within a 1,200 klm radius of Cockabiddy WA .

If you watch the forum I will post the police notice from 25th June 2003
