Check out the Australian Customs site, but I'm pretty sure you're not allowed any plant material because of disease. Just like you have to clean all your garden stuff really well and not have any wooden stuff which could have worms in it.

Mr Mover would know the answer - maybe he'll be on later tonight......meantime I'm almost sure you can't take the Christmas tree, and while you're on the subject - this one hasn't been mentioned for a while - chuck out your Xmas decorations with PINE CONES in them! Something to do with the seeds in them, even after they've been sprayed silver. They say that if a box is labelled Xmas Decs, it will almost certainly be opened by Customs, if they find any cones they will destroy them, and charge you for the privilege.
