  Don't be fooled by their cuteness, they're trouble

When flying into Australia, their local custom's agents are very strict as far as what can be brought into the country. This applies twice as much to things like fruits, vegetables, animals, plants, and other living things. I've never seen such strict rules for items like this and it doesn't end here. When flying domestically, you still need to avoid transporting these items. Well, from the mainland to Tasmania. Once you arrive on the island of Tasmania, be prepared to be sniffed. Many things grown on the mainland are not allowed on the island of Tasmania without passing inspection or quarantine. So to be sure, eat all your fruit before boarding the plane or while on the plane. Don't bring it with you to Tasmania or this little guy (see picture) will be all over you!

Liz got caught in Sydney because she had an apple in her bag for two days. She ate the apple on the flight to Australia, but the smell was all over the bag. We learned our lesson and avoided repeating it.!
