Hi guys, We are leaving for a long trip from WA and was wondering if the
quarantine checkpoint is in both directions from SA or just on the way coming back into WA??
Cheers, Dave

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 $100,000 fine
There is currently a fruit fly outbreak in the
Mildura (VIC) area and it has the potential to wreak havoc with their export programs. Could cost them millions of dollars. South Australia is generally fruit fly free and the Govt. has every desire and intention (as do growers and producers) to keep it that way.
Any breaches of the above are treated seriously and heavy fines can be imposed.
