australia to bali/java
 

hi all

i am just starting to plan a little trip from australia to england, dose anyone know the best/ easyest way to get to bali/java from australia, ive had a look at the forums and the island hopping thing sounds a good idea so any advice on that would be helpfull aswell, cheers

Perkins shipping can take you Darwin to Dili or you could go by air to Denpasar (Bali) or Jakarta - but you would be missing some beautiful islands & some great travelling..

When we were in Kupang there was talk of some Aussie that regularly ran a big yacht to Darwin carrying cargo & could take a bike on the deck - wasn't going to be cheap though.

There is also an Aussie who runs freight between Darwin and Kupang, West Timor who can take your bike for $300AUD. He goes approx once a month on an erratic schedule. Check out my report in the shipping pages, I shipped my bike from Kupang to Darwin back in July.
