When you read statements like this it's easy to see why people get all bent out of shape....
The 14 day G pass (was 7 days) has got absolutely f all to do with how long you can stay in QLD, it means that when you apply for it and it's issued you have got 14 days from the date you received it to travel to QLD!!!....if you don't arrive in QLD before the pass expires you have to apply for another before travelling....that's why they state "
To avoid disappointment please complete the Queensland Border Declaration Pass as close to your travel date as possible." once your here you can stay for as long as you want and you don't need any pass to do so
You don't have to carry it with you at all once you have arrived, mine (like most others) have all ended up in the airport bin after passing through security, and you most certainly don't have to produce it when you leave, it's got f all to do with leaving the state.......
Good one Zilo......
