However you cannot take plants in so I imagine a dead plant would be the same

Tasmania seems to be a bit anal about quarantine, however I can't blame them, its a beautiful place worth protecting!

From the Tas Quarantine site you need to call them before you bring it as there appears to be some concern over European House Borer that is damaging to pine plantations (cant see a problem meself
).
If you can afford to lose it and its not much you can declare it as you get in and they will decide then however that will definately slow your trip and they will probably err on the side of caution and just take it.

The Answer from the horses mouth
Dressed hardwood timber which is free from soil, insects and adhering plant material is o.k.
