I brought mine from Sydney to Melbourne for $380. I used Align. I know they definately do Bribane as well, not sure if it has to be a runner. They were excelent.

you think that would be the best way? we worked it out to be about 1500 for trailer hire and fuel. we are going to go quote crazy tomorrow. we will see where we go from there, we are fast running out of time, we only have a few weeks to pick it up. but thank you every one for your help. it has probable made the difference. and i promise when we get it back in QLD we will post pics.

I recently flew to melbourne and drove a split back to byron, was a great trip, had a few hicups but well worth it... Would have definitely cheaper to freight, but didnt want to trust my split with any old truckie...

Frenzix recently had a bus from melbourne to Lismore for about 600, get it here and do a 2 hr road trip

yer im under the same thinking. but if it is only 2 hours. then i can deal with that. so i get it on non drivable freight up to lismore then i can get it from there. or is it easier to just put it on freight and get it delivered to my house?
