Anyone know where i can get a list of the animals allowed to be taken to australia from uk?

I don't think there's an actual list, but I'm quite sure you can only import dogs and cats into Australia.
More info on www.aqis.gov.au (be warned, it's a very 'difficult' site, bit hard to find what you want etc).

ok thanks, looking grim then for my African Gray

I have a similar sort of question, can I take my tortoise

This may be of use..

"Biosecurity Australia has not developed import conditions for this animal and as such AQIS cannot facilitate your import."

And for example rabbits, you can only import ones for commercial use I think.

tosh27, for amphibians it says the same as above, so no, sorry

Dogs, cats and horses in the main. Things like tortoises and other reptiles are a no-no. You can bring in castrated hamsters for laboratory purposes if you like.

You can't get Hammy hamsters for the kids here we had to get guinea pigs instead but they are still lovely
