Dona mentioned that she had passed through both Australian and New Zealand airports carrying food and I have to endorse what Ruth Budge said about this! New Zealand is as strict as Australia about this and has an automatic $200 fine for anyone trying to bring food stuffs, in particular fruit, meat and honey into the country! As one well know Hollywood star recently found out!
When I returned from England recently I had chocolate bars, bone bobbins and a wooden Pinard stethoscope with me so I declared these things to be on the safe side and had not problem with any of them. A big sticker was put on the box containing them saying they were safe - it is better to declare than be caught! Air New Zealand has recently announced that it is relaxing the restrictions on carrying some things on flights, but as I haven't got the details here I will not try to say what they are. It is as well to check with any airline before travelling as the restrictions are always changing!
