Might be. I
have sent items but have been advised (perhaps erroneously) that you are very strict on importing wood in Autralia in case of infection. Might be worth trying again though in light of your comments.

The rough rule of thumb we use for import or export to and from Australia, USA and NZ is no bark, no worm holes or borer etc . Solid timber no voids and sealed with some sort of sealer. I have used wax, varnish anything really as long as it looks sealed.
On a regular basis woodturners from the US and NZ visit and take burls home with them I have assisted a few of them as the distances can be a daunting to many of them.
I have driven more than once the equivalent distance of John O' Groats to Lands End and back for a load of turning blanks.
