When should I arrive?

Before departure:

• Clean and seal your bags tightly after packing to ensure they’re free of stowaways such as ants, skinks, soil, seeds, mice, or rats.
• Pack food at the source in sealed, pest-proof containers. Ensure cardboard boxes are securely closed and taped to prevent pests from accessing them.
• Inspect any camping or stored gear thoroughly for signs of pests, as stored items are high risk.

Passengers must declare any dangerous goods. While many can be transported, some are prohibited, and carrying them may result in prosecution.
