Wheatbags!
No I am not swearing 
I have a couple of wheatbags that you heat up in the microwave and then use for my bad neck. Will they be a problem to take with us? Might seem a strange question but seeing as they are made from wheat and lavender etc I wondered how AQIS view them?

Re: Wheatbags!
Hello
They may be a problem because the wheat would be considered a seed.
The good news however is they are readily available in Aus!
The major department stores sell them as well as many boutique natural therapy places, The Body Shop etc.

A note of caution in the heat, I had an Aussie bought one for a few years, we moved house and I put it in a plastic bag in a storage cupboard, in a room with a tin roof. It used to be in a cool cupboard in my old home.
First of all a smell started, could not work it out then one morning a room full of bugs appeared from it - hence it went in the garbage.

Re: Wheatbags!
We sent my sister-in-law something very similar for Xmas one year. At the Australia end they put it in quarrantine, and get this, sent her on the packaging, minus lavender heat up pillow :scared: She wondered what the heck was going on when she received it!
