from Australia to New Zealand
 

The posts I found about this are pretty old. I'm wondering if there's something new. I'd like to go from Sydney or Melbourne to Christchurch or Auckland. My Aussie visa expires on Jan. 14. I plan on going to Japan end of March to teach English for a year to pay for Southeast Asia and Europe.

I can clean it and crate it, but I'm looking for the cheapest way of getting it there. I think air would be best.

I'm rolling the dice on this. My dad just had a minor stroke in the States and I might have to return for a bit. Won't know until they've done more tests. I think I can get a helpful Kiwi to pick up and store the bike in Christchurch until I return if I have to go back to the US.

Hi,

Sorry to hear about your day, hope he gets better soon!

RE Shipping - there are 9 Aus - NZ shipments listed in the Shipments by Travellers section of the site, 3 of them in the last 2 years. In theory everything is all there - if anyone has any other shipments info that they have done, it should be posted there.

There is a guy, Dave Milligan, working out of Melbourne, that organised containers full of bikes between Aus and NZ.
The company is called Get Routed and has a web site. cant remember what it is but try WWW.getrouted and go from there.

There is a weekly ship to NZ from melbourne. Bob and Danielle just shipped there GS for a total of 585 NZ dollars with Linfox. It takes about 7 days. If you need a crate they are pretty easy to organise in Melbourne. I believe this is the same company Dave Milligan uses.
