Backload room availaible?

Damn ! Thats bad luck Barry. I hope you get it sorted. That must be every travellers nightmare.

Wish you luck with getting a favourable outcome.

Try a google search with Perth to Broome freight.
It might even be cheaper to split the van and 4wd drive up by sending the van on a normal semi and sending the 4wd with a car transporter.
Ask the locals like the caravan park managers,they would probably know of others who have been in the same position

Can feel for you, Barry. I'd hate to be that far from home, and looking at the loot needed for transport, and a re-build.

I pass a number of transporter mobs, here in central west Qld. They cart a LOT of vehicles, but otherwise don't know much about them. Don't think they'll cart vehicles with any belongings in them, and not sure about the 'van.

Here they are:

CEVA 132277

Adelaide Car Express 08 82621622

Patrick Autocare 1300 656 768

Hope they, or someone they know, can help you. What would be ideal would be a tilt tray. Put the vehicle on it, and tow the 'van. you wouldn't need to worry too much about your belongings then.

Good luck,

Bob.

Barry,

Sorry to hear about your predicament. Try a fella named Jeff Little (Littles Transport) 0448 816450. This guy does Perth to Karratha and Pt Hedland, not sure if he goes as far as Broome. I used him when in business a while back, pretty good rates. Not sure about the van but maybe worth a call.

Good luck
Pop

Thanks everyone for your good wishes and contacts. We have managed to find a load with Regal Transport in Broome. Quite ironic when you consider our van is a Regal as well!
Cheers and happy travels everyone ;-))

Hi bardot

Sorry to hear Bardot,

Most people in Broome use OTS ( Oilfield Transport Services)
Give them a call

ill take bets.

2 to 1 patrol 1.10 favourite 3ltr diesel, performs badly needs to be put down
15 to 1 1hz landcruiser 5.98 dark horse. solid donk, wont break the sound barrier.
