My family is considering a move to Melbourne....?

Question

At the moment I am a breeder of Persian cats as well as Lionhead rabbits.  How many of my furry children will I be able to bring with me into the country and what is the requirements?  I have been told the rabbits may not be allowed as they are a "pest" in Australia but MY rabbits are show rabbits, never ever lived outside of a house, let alone never have touched the ground outside.  All answers greatly appreciated.

My family immigrated when I was 9 - I'm now 59, and in all that time I've lived in various parts of Australia, and have seen maybe half a dozen poisonous creatures , ie a few spiders. Insect spray is a wonderful product and it works every time. Its not like they jump out at you - you might see one up on the wall, and so you zap it with the spray, and you soon have one dead creature. I have only seen poisonous bigger creatures like snakes, in the zoo. Most of us live in cities and large towns, and never see anything dangerous from one year to the next. Maybe in the country you might see a few more spiders, but that's about all. Good luck - you'll love it here and yes you will have a better way of life and lots of opportunities here.
