Into South Australia, many are restricted because of fruit fly: PIRSA says to eat or dispose of produce at risk before entering SA or the Riverland. Into Western Australia, produce must be free of soil, pests and disease, and some plants are not allowed. Leave fresh produce and pot plants out of the truck.

WA’s agriculture department asks people moving to WA to complete the Declaration for movement of personal goods into WA with their removals company, who should lodge it on their behalf. Honey is not allowed unless a Health Certificate covers it. See Adelaide to Perth removalists.
