Fruit and Vegs in Flinders

No you have to surrender fruit and stuff before entering BH, then there is another inspection at Oodlawirra.
If you are going northwest from Yunta on the dirt then you can take it from Broken hill.

Travelling into and within South Australia
It is illegal to carry fruit and vegetables across all borders into South Australia, unless they have been certified free of pests and diseases.

South Australian Quarantine roadblocks and honesty bins are strategically placed throughout South Australia. Mobile quarantine roadblocks operate on country roads.

Don't risk a $2500 fine


As Broken Hill is across the border from SA it looks like you could have problems. Don't forget, P.I.R.S.A. conduct mobile patrols and have the power to stop vehicles and search them. Substantial penalties apply for anyone caught with fruit or vegetables brought in from interstate. Your best and safest bet is to purchase at Yunta or after Wilpena try Leigh Creek and Hawker.

G'day Rod, last time i stopped at Orroroo few good shops there for supplies. cheers steve

Yunta is not within the exclusion zone, so you should be able to take fruit & veg from Broken Hill to Yunta, but not the reverse as Broken Hill is just within the zone......Having said that though there was no fruit fly stop on the Barrier hwy between Broken Hill and Yunta (ie at the border, at Cockburn)

I would stock up at Broken Hill, as there is several large supermarkets there, and if you intend heading nth at Yunta there is nothing until Wilpena Resort, which is limited and expensive, and though Hawker isn't that far, there isn't a lot there either.

Cheers and happy travels

Cheers,

You definitely cannot bring fruit, vegetables and some other items into SA, so check the DEH website for information. We do like to protect our wine, dried fruit and vegetable industries thank you.

Apart from that depends on how you are getting to the Flinders. Orrorroo is definitely a good place to stock up and whilst there drop in to Maggies Rendevous for a great feed and coffee. Or you can drop in at Hawker as well. The supermarket is across the road from the service station and it also provides a good selection of wine and beers as well. There is the pub and a very nice coffee shop at Blinman but that is it. If you are in Copely go to the bakery for a coffee and quandong pie and Leigh Creek has a well stocked supermarket

If you buy from a supermarket and keep your receipt you can carry the food through. look at the web sight for S.A. it states it in there.
cheers shane.

If you are going to the Flinders Ranges via Yunta and Erudina, you won't even see a fruit shop before you get to Wilpena.
In fact you will only see a couple of pubs and a couple of roadhouses before you get to Wilpena.
Stock up at Broken Hill and you will be OK.
Hawker and Leigh Creek would be your only other options to get a cross section of supplies, as Wilpena really only has a limited variety.

Quorn has an IGA with a good selection when we stayed there last May.

And quron is worth a visit for the Pichi Richi, Dutchmans Stern walk, and other sights including the rock wallabies.
