Thread: Getting a Perentie from Bris to Melb

Cannot help you with transport.......but I do work just around the corner so if you need any assistance on the ground let us know. Short term storage could also be arranged

Well done.. Why not make a trip out of it and fly up there and drive it back?

Our 130 defender cost $900.00 back in 2007 to bring from Melb to Bris I think you have it cheap

Thanks for offer Weeds. My Outlaws live in Brisbane so I should be right on that side of it.

$800 sounds pretty reasonable to me. It cost us around $1600 last year to get the county back to Melb from Cairns with Door to Door car carrying.

We found it was cheaper through them than going direct to the carriers themselves.

Personally, I'd be flying up and driving it back - what better way to get to know your new vehicle.

Hi,

Back in 2011 I had a no-goer SWB shipped from Gunnedah to Brisbane for $400 which was the best deal I could find going at the time. It worked out considerably cheaper than driving down there and back with a hire trailer, cost of over-nighting etc. Plus it avoided the hassle of actually transporting the vehicle etc. If you can get your truck shipped from Brisbane to Melbourne for $800 it is probably a reasonably good deal.

The number and name of the fellow who arranged to collect and ship mine at the time is Dave at 043-8623109. Other than that I was overseas at the time and still have no idea who he was or who actually delivered the truck.

Cheers,
