Cheaper options for Transport costs. Gympie to Townsville.
« on: April 23, 2012, 01:21:30 PM »
Hi All,

I have brought a Trackabout in Gympie. I am in Tennant Creek, so I need to get the camper trailer to Townsville, where the rest of our gear is waiting to be shipped.

I have had a few qoutes, and all are around the 970 to 1k.

Are there any other cheaper options? I was shocked to find out it was so much,

Theres heaps of threads on this sorta thing.. with many being shocked at the costs. Have a search around the forum

FWIW, I "paid" 300 odd from Qld to Melbourne.

Try Queensland Rail. In the past I have found them quite cheap.

Thanks, I will check with QR.

I did do a search, wasnt to much going nth from Brisbane.

Still shocked at the cost, but I guess it is a 1100km odd trip.

Try http://www.temando.com/ they might be able to organise something. Finding someone driving up there that is happy to take some fuel money is probably the cheapest option.
