There are some cheap airfares being offered at the moment, so I thought I would provide some details on road freighting your Y-Type to Queensland for the 70th Weekend. When we shipped our YT to Perth last year we used CEVA - great service and reasonable rates - contact is Emma Wallace (Emma.Wallace@Cevalogistics.com). Their Brisbane Depot is at Pinkenba, just 12km (12 minutes in a taxi) from Brisbane Airport. It is 140km (around 2 hours) from the CEVA Depot to Tranquil Park Resort at Maleny. I hope this information will help you plan your trip. If I can assist in any way, or have a question, contact Tony Slattery.
