A member asked me to look into this and as they seem to be asleep now I thought I better post the Information for all.

Trade implications – interstate import requirements
At the time of writing, Tasmania, Western Australia and South Australia have applied conditions and restrictions on the importation of products from the family Myrtaceae. As market access requirements may be subject to change, the requirements for all States and Territories should be checked prior to export.

G,day Brett apparently it was found in some cut flowers. So movement of the Myrtaceae, family cannot be exported to any where, but can be imported .
That is a relief we can still export to the Eastern states from here.
Cheers

Yes there is some good news to it so I was wondering if you could bring this one over with you so I could take a closer look.

Yes I could but for $5000.00 So your tax cheque had better be a large one.

You must be getting Old that was all too easy. Bring it over and the ban means it stays here
Edit: joke might be on me yet I would not be sure what species that is
