I am going to Australia and wonder if I am allowed to bring back any plants. I understand that there are no problems bringing in plants from Europe.

There will be restrictions on what plants you are able to bring in from Australia. You should either contact the Australian Embassy or the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) in London. I'm afraid I don't have a contact for them, but you can get the phone number from directory enquiries. They do have a website, so enter Defra in your search engine.
