If you are looking for a beautiful and laid back place along the west coast of Australia, this is the place the be. Get some fish n chips from the local pub and take your vehicle for a drive on the beach to a place of your choice to watch the west coast sunset. With an ice cold beer in one hand and a load of greasy fries in the other, say ‚how ya goin‘ to your dining companions and if you feel like it, also to the group of tourists riding along the beach on camels.

Shipping a vehicle is trickier than you would think. You need somebody trustworthy to organize the shipping for you and tell you what to do. Counting backwards and knowing the container will be on its way for about 40 to 50 days we started to talk to shipping agencies approximately four months before the trip. We picked Darwin as our starting point, which is also known as one of the toughest ports to get your vehicle into Australia.
