Quarrantine

Heading towards South Australia the trees were getting larger and then we saw quarantine signs.Damn, we had forgotten about this. It is illegal to take fruit,vegetables, wood or grape vines into Sth Aussie.

A couple of kms further on, there was a bin to place these items in. We had cabbage, potatoes tomatoes and apples on board. We did think about continuing on but couldn't do it so we stopped and sent our fresh F $ V down in the depths of the bin. We did eat an apple each before going on.
Two other cars stopped and deposited  as well while we were there. We are at a small coastal town paying $25 a night for a few nights while we check out the surrounds. This is reported as the Crayfish (Lobster) capital so may have to try one while we are here. There is a place in town that sells cooked ones
South Australians do tend to have some different words such as a stobbie pole for electricity pole, fritz for devon (although fritz is much tastier than devon just ask any Sth Aussie)
