43kms will see us arrive in South Australia and our first stop being at the Quarantine Station, I have sorted out what I can and can't keep and put into a plastic bag for easy disposal, the officer has a good sense of humor and the task is pretty easy, he lets me keep my sweet potatoes and mushrooms.
