It should not be a problem to bring in. You will need to declare it so they can look at it and look for any signs of wood borer. I have found that if the item has obviously been manufactured or treated in some way Customs are not too concerned, but they still like to give it a quick look to make sure. Being honest about what you have will be the most helpful thing.
July is the rainiest month in Perth and the coldest, as it is the middle of winter for us, so not the best place to plan to observe from. But if you pass through here there is
Horizon the Planetarium in Scitech and day tours can be arranged at
Perth Observatory for school classes.
