Hello

In planning a future trip I need to know advice on the following possible shipping routes for a 4WD:

1) Australia (prefer west coast but can be east coast) to Sth Africa

2) Australia to Kenya

3) Australia to India

4) Australia to Suez Canal or Horn of Africa

Sounds like a lot but really I am happy to do my own research. I just wanted to get an idea if anyone knows whether these routes exist. Any websites for Australian based shipping companies?

Thanks
Mel
