At the border we had forgotten we had to discard our fruit & veg before entering SA. So we quickly cooked 7 apples, ate the plums, grapes and half a kiwi fruit. Had to destroy the rest and hand over some delicious honey from Taree markets. The still hot apples passed scrutiny. Thought we were complying and had cut up the lemons and put them in the freezer. Caught out! The half hour they were in there wasn’t long enough as the official said they were “too soft”. Consequently there was a discussion with the supervisor, a redirection to the office, 2 forms filled in, and photos taken of the lemons and Gary’s drivers license . Decisions & probable fine after documentation is sent to Adelaide. OVERKILL nanny state, waste of resources!
We spent a very pleasant day at Berri on the Murray River while the van was being serviced nearby. Riverside walk, coffee and Loch #4. Our overnight stay was at the van park by the river too.
