You want a 'transport hub'.

One that goes directly to Australia, does not go to some other port and transfer or pick up there .. you want the direct connection. The direct connection will be cheaper and have less chance of damage and being incorrectly loaded. For aircraft there are maps that give this kind of info. For ships - talk to a shipping agent - they can tell you where.

Where in Australia do you want to get to? You want the first port of call in Australia to minimize your costs. That will be Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane .. and possibly a number of smaller sea ports (if ship rather than air) in close proximity to those.

I am looking for the cheapest transport. The port in Australia does not matter, as i like to make a roundtrip.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
