Yes you can - the Dept for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry website tells you that you can take in 'skins hides and furs' provided you declare them.
(Some items might also need treatment before they are allowed in).

We are moving back with our cat who sleeps on one - her comfort blanket.
Please no comments about flat cats, dead cats, skinning cats, etc.
Cheers

i wouldnt worry about insects on the rug. I havent been here very long, but havent had much of a problem with them and i am told you can have your house fumigated once a year for a little over $100 and nothig comes in after that.
