Having 3 more quotes this week from Chess, Kents and Key Bros, so see what they say. But i thought the same as you, it is more expensive to go back, even with less.

Crap innit
Anything that involves escaping from Ozcatraz seems to be ridiculously expensive

Re: just had quotes in from shippers
We have come to the conclusion that after living here, Oz is a country run by aliens. They lure you here with promises of a wonderful life, wall to wall sunshine and beautiful beaches then you can't escape. They are brain washing us all and they need us for their master plan. Austar in Robina is their head quarters. You'd think so if you tried working there! It's just down right weird - no offence if you work there and love it!

See I told you - aliens! Anyone remember V. Give it time and they'll reveal themselves from under the mask of tanned skin and beautiful bodies.

Well we all know he's an alien! Wonder which planet he's from? It's a conspiracy, most of us have been brainwashed via our places of employment and schools that we don't even realise it. I'm sure Austar is sending subliminal messages via the TV! Get out while you still can!!!!!!!
