As I'm going on my own, and don't really have any furniture, looking into the best way to send couple of extra suitcases, surfboard, hifi separates, speakers and books - that kind of thing. Not enough for a container, but not really suitable for one of the companies that gives standard size cardboard boxes either.

Has anybody found any companies that will ship this sort of thing at ok prices? (as the quotes I've had so far are damn expensive)> Just think it'll work out cheaper to book a return with lower baggage allowance and ship stuff than to get a pricey one way with 40kg when I'll have to send extra anyway.

Cheers. Jason

Welcome Rob.

I'm off to Sydney in August and 43 and on my own too. Like you I have some contacts in oz, but scary all the same. Well done in making the move I hope it works out. If you are in the Sydney area, fancy a beer...Should be touching down in August if all goes to plan.

Cheers

Its the little spiders you need to be wary of - the white tips and the red backs - you dont see them till its too late. I also have a picture of a red back nest that I stumbled on in a goldmine shaft out in mining country NSW - mummy redback wasnt home fortunately.

As for sharks - I reckon if doc is in the water showing off his body boarding skills they'll stay well clear - wont want to ruin their street cred. :eek::D
