Don't try and bring fruit or veggies into Australia and New Zealand. I had declared on my customs forms carrots and apples that I had not finished on the plane flight to Australia. The beagle they use to find hidden produce, I kid you not, sniffed them out. Everyone in the airport thought that I had drugs in my bag and laughed when I pulled out the carrots and apple. The Customs Agent asked to see my form and told me that I had better have declared the forbidden fruit on my form otherwise I would have to play a $250 fine. She was surprised, and a but disappointed, that I had declared them and didn't like my suggestion that they post signs telling you that you cannot bring fresh fruits and veggies into the country over the quarintine bins.
The beagle was really cute.
