I disagree. Dried fruits and nuts are unlikely to be a problem (especially if commercially packaged) - the concern is more with fresh fruit. As long as you declare that you have food on your arrival card and accurately describe it to the Quarantine officer when asked, you will have no problems. The worst that will happen is your food items are confiscated, and you can buy more dried fruit and nuts once you are in Australia.
