%X Historical records from Victorian fruit fly roadblocks were analysed to identify past trends. A model using month of year and time of day accounted for most of the variance in travellers carrying fruit at the Euston, Barham, Kyalite and Wentworth sites in 1980&#8211;81. Different sites had different characteristics and pooling of results across sites is likely to be invalid. Tomatoes were found to make up 49.3% of infested fruit during the 7-year period between 1976&#8211;77 and 1982&#8211;83. Travellers originating from Sydney carried 69.3% of the infested fruit. The proportion of the 3 origins carrying infested fruit did not vary significantly during the 7-year period. The interceptions were not evenly distributed with 50% of the detections occurring in 2 of the 7 years.
