Shipping USA to Australia
Hi, I'm 3 months into a 'civilized' RTW  - that is, I expect to spend another 6 months (until the end of Oct) in the USA, before moving on. I have my own, UK registered GS Adv with me.
My original plan was to move on to NZ for 3 months or so, then ship to Australia for 3-6 months, or until the money ran out 
I'm now having second thoughts about the NZ trip - don't get me wrong - I still want to go - it's just that I've got a feeling that it's going to be more cost effective to crate the bike and send it to Oz, then fly out to NZ, hire a bike for a month or so, then fly on to Oz & meet the bike.
Any thoughts anybody? Any ideas of 'ball park' figures for crating & shipping? Or of bike hire costs in NZ? I'd really like to take the Adv for the whole trip - but if it costs me the equivalent of a couple of months travel to do so, then I may look at the alternative.
All advice/experience appreciated...
Mike
