Every wanker from the begining of the Pacific to the end has warned us about clearing into
Sydney as the
customs officials are meant to be the most crappy, evil, draconian bastards that ever lived.
Well let me tell you... and let it be saved and indexed here on the net that... the
Sydney Customs are the nicest and friendliest
mob you could ever meet!
Quarantien costs $240 which is the worlds highest, but they guy we had was wonderful!
So like so much other stuff you hear from cruisers: filter it! They may be talking about an isolated instance of a difficulty etc. As a
mob of people that we delt with the
Small Boat Office in Sydney is terrific
