UK to Oz for £8,000?
We are looking to emmigrate from the UK to Australia in April 2010 in our standard Isuzu Bighorn (Trooper Import). Changing our leave date is not very flexible - maybe a couple of months either way - but no more than that.
Money is going to be very tight, and we thought that we should just fly back to save money - but wheres the fun in that?
I've come up with a really rough budget, having got the costs to total around £8,000 based on 6-8 weeks travelling. Information has been found on other traveller diaries, threads on here, and a little guesswork!
We are looking at a fairly direct route, with a little extra time to visit Malaysia, Thailand & Laos - anyway, route is roughly as follows...
England
France
Italy
(ship to) Greece
Turkey
Iran
Pakistan
India
(ship to) Malaysia
Thailand
Laos
Thailand
Malaysia
(ship to) Australia
Please feel free to help me with my figures below - constructive feedback and helpful advice would be really, really welcome...
Injections & Meds - £600
Carnet - £1000
Bighorn Fitting Out - Jerry Cans, Tools, Cooking, Sleeping etc - £700
Cheap Primetech Tent & Roof Rack / Bars - £500
Petrol - £1000
Accommodation - £1000
Food - £500
Ferry - England to France - £100
Ferry - Italy to Greece - £250
Shipping from Chennai to Port Kelang - £350
Clear Container in PK - £350
Ship from PK to Oz - £600
Clear Container in Oz - £1000
I will be honest and admit that these figures are as low as I think that I could possibly get them. So, are the figures way out - could it be done for the above amounts with a small Credit Card contigency?
