Australia Packing List Tips by MichaelFalk1969

Australia What to Pack: 84 reviews and 59 photos

Forbidden fruits

Luggage and bags: Australians are quite wary of imported food, as "invasive" animals or fruitbased food that can carry seeds as they can have a destructive impact on the local ecology. So better eat anything you can cook or any fruit on the airplane and truthfully declare any food item you take with you when you arrive in Australia. It is said that there have been costly fines for not declaring oranges. They checked us for chocolate chips (which we did not declare) but fotunately we did not have to pay.
