Kiwis cross the ditch - The Fush and Chup Tour

Well after two years of planning after our great trip from Sydney to Cape York and back we have shipped our Landrover Discovery and Bronson the bear back over to Brisbane from Tauranga, New Zealand.

Kiwibound eventually

Graeme,

Thanks for your response, I was interested to note your cost of shipping. We shipped Jill's lancer over when we moved there in 2000 and the cost was $2700 ex WGTN so just goes to show some things do go down in price. Customs/AQIS same issues in fact they only inspected cars at that stage on a two weekly basis so even once it was cleaned, which was the day after arrival and original check we had to wait a fortnight for it to be released. When I tried to hurry them up I was informed that it was ok the car was secure in air conditioned storage - like the car cared!

Will be interested to follow your posts as you travel this year, we will be housesitting this year in Yeppoon (June/July) and Hervey Bay (August/October) so looking forward to exploring that area thoroughly.

Again thanks for the info

Cheers

Peter
