You may not enter these areas or cross state borders with tropical and temperate fruits (including mangos, avocados, grapes and berries), pome fruits (such as apples, pears and quince), citrus fruits, stone fruits (including apricots and peaches) and fruiting vegetables (capiscums, chillies, eggplants, tomatoes and tamarillos). There are disposal bins for unwanted fruit and vegetables on major transport routes. On the spot fines apply and they can go as high as $20,000. So do the right thing – eat up or dispose of produce in the bins provided and keep your money for your Murray holiday! Visit murrayriver.com.au/fruit-fly-free-zone These tips are provided to assist with safety and enjoyment of your travels through the Murray region. Some parts of the Murray are quite remote so taking precautions for travelling is strongly advisable. The tips below are also for most Australian driving and travelling conditions. Speed cameras, red light cameras and random drug and alcohol tests operate through Victoria, South Australia and New South Wales. Hitch-hiking is illegal. Obey speed limits as indicated. • The most serious danger on the road is fatigue. Look for driver refreshment stations, pull off and rest. • Be careful when driving on country roads at night. Cattle and native animals such as kangaroos are always present. Car lights blind and mesmerise the animals and they may run any direction. • Never leave children or animals in vehicles as very hot weather causes dehydration quickly. • Some roads are remote. Always advise someone at the destination. DO NOT leave your vehicle. • Do not attempt to cross flooded rivers and causeways unless you are sure of the water depth and conditions. • Protect against sunburn at all times, but especially in summer. Use a wide brimmed hat, 30+ sunscreen, sunglasses, protective clothes and shoes. Australian sunlight has very high UV levels and skin damage occurs rapidly, especially during the middle of the day. Always carry plenty of drinking water. • When swimming in the Murray be aware of strong currents and possible river snags and debris. • Fishing permits are required in Victoria and New South Wales. Obtained through local tackle or sports shops.
