If you log into the website and go to 'Services', click on shipping, and you'll find quite a bit of info. I looked at shipping a bike to Oz a few years back and contacted C H Robinsons (01753683288) - they were very helpful. They can offered a door-to-door service via Sydney or Melbourne. I think that the bike has to be crated, - no battery, oil, or fuel, together with very clean or new tyres. The Aussies are very strick and go to very long lengths to avoid bugs and foreign matter coming into the country. Ignore their rules at your peril. Also, when I looked into it, they wouldn't accept wooden crates. They have to be metal. You can usually obtain these from an importer/dealer of Japanese bikes. My local Yamaha dealer would have sold me one for about £80. Good luck, but be careful.

Thank you I forgot about the strict conditions that must be adhered too. I am letting the buyer sort everything out.
