Thread: Denmark Australia and back

Dav, ven. Welkommen til Australien.

There is a Danish Club in Brisbane, Heimdal, where you will be made most welcome.

There will also be a compulsory charge to fumigate and clean the vehicle upon landing, because of Oz's system to keep out foreign diseases and pests. I think you have to use the nominated cleaning company, no choice and it doesn't matter how well you cleaned it yourself, they still have to do it. Not sure of the cost, but I expect it would be at least $500. Suggest you research it.
But I'm sure it wil still be a great trip experience for you.

Hi,
I just payed a deposit on my first Defender today, and planning my first trip in September, to Birdsville, Big Red, Lake Eyre, Coopers Creek, if your interested we can chat. No extreme stuff, just my bucket list. About three weeks i think, before it gets too hot.

Hopefully 2015 will be Ularu & surrounds

We plan to do Alice to Birdsville in September with a group, so may see you there.

No there won't. It will be inspected by AQIS but they'll only order the cleaning if not up to standard.

FWIW - Mine passed first time and didn't need a clean/fumigate.

Interesting. Thanks for that. Everyone else I've read who went through that had to be fumigated.

Damn, I couldn't even get mine from NSW to WA without having to have it cleaned by an approved agency. And by my standards it was damn near immaculate (doesn't say much about my standards...)
