Cape York Quarantine

On my last trip to the Cape 12 years ago we had to purchase fresh fruit & veges at recognised locations in Cairns with documentation to get them through the quarantine inspection gate at Laura I think.

Of up there again in June, is quarantine for fruit and veges still an issue?

Its at Coen and I think there are no issues carting fruit up, its now monitoring exotic diseases. It was set up for the Paw Paw Fruit Fly.

Maybe carting back is an issue

Coen Station

You just keep driving Nth bound on the way up. Coming home you have to check in to the station and show em your goods.

Agreed - they actually check it all out and if it looks OK, then they let you take it with you.

Cheers
