Comments: 

Thanks to Sandra from Dakar Motos, great service, straight forward. Make appointment with Sandra and she will organise everything else. Take bike to airport where there are very helpful and friendly people. Pack bike on pallet with the help of the workers, the bike will then be measured and wrapped for transport. catch the workers bus back to town for a few dollars. Next day go to the office in town, pay and your done. To easy.

Australia side is a different story. If you don't have a carnet and you are a Australian citizen you WILL NEED a re-import permit, do not attempt getting the bike in without one. http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/ is where you can apply for it. Do it well in time before shipping as it will take a while to get.
Once you in OZ get on to CT Freight on +61 2 8337 8888 or you will find information under http://www.ctfreight.com
They are great and be able to help you avoiding storage coast's. It coast me another 577.15 A$ to get the bike out, including airport handling fees.
If you have a carnet it's easier and you can clear it yourself, just be patient. Good Luck
