Myth or legit: you can carry fresh fruit off the Spirit into Tasmania.

Answer: Myth

Myth. Fresh fruit and vegetables aren't permitted into Tasmania. Use the bins on board or at the inspection point.

That includes potatoes, fresh herbs, garlic, ginger and onion. Cooked, canned, hard frozen or commercially dried versions are fine. Home-dried raw produce is not.
