Does anyone have a contact for a reliable transport co that will take vehicles (4x4) say from Melb to
Darwin - with gear (camping etc) inside? Bulls freight used to, but Toll swallowed them up and no more. Thanks Jim

Hi Jim,
Did the research on this exact trip myself last year. Toll were best by only $100. Very expensive though - $1800.00 one way Melb -
Darwin. You can not carry any gear in the car though. Not sure why not ( insurance or weight? )
I eventually flew up and hired a 4x4 up there at a rip off rate, swore to never do it again
good luck
Marco

Thanks Marco - that's right - we spend all that time to set up - and get things just right!! And hiring something just doesn't seem smart from that point of view, even if cheaper.
