no matter what kind of food, remember to declare to aqis upon arrival. if you are not sure, just declare. the aqis officer will inspect and determine whether you can take into aust or not. if not, it will be seized by aqis (but there will be no penalty). if you dont declare but the items are discovered by aqus officer, yuo will be fined.
I usually keep all the food, chinese herbs etc in one luggage so that it will be easy for inspection. Usually after inspected that one, they always lets us go without futher checking. But all luggage usually went through X-ray before manual checking.
I watched a TV show that a chinese brought Yin Woh to Oz and the custom allow him to mail it back to China without puting returm address in the package as the Aussie know that it is very expensive. Of course he got fine as he didn't decare it....

you can not bring "bird nest" (yin woh) , "dear horn" (luk yung) into Australia.
oh..that Chinese is lucky. My workmate's friend tried twice to bring yin-woh into Australia, the custom found out and throw to the bin~

Two years ago we bought two bottles of wines from Hunter Valley, but we were too too too idiotic and forgotten that we put the wines in our "hand carry" bags. Of course the custom seized our wines during inspection. But they placed the wines on the table rather than the bin.
