Singapore to Australia
Hi there.
I live in Britain, but I am coming to live in Australia for a year. I am currently planning my trip from London to Australia without flying.
We are getting the Eurostar train to Moscow, then going on the Trans Siberian Railway to Beijing. Then from Beijing to Bangkok and then on to Singapore by rail.
Once we get to Singapore we may have to fly to Australia. However, I am trying to find out if it would be possible to get a one way crossing by sea over to Australia. Perhaps to Darwin?
Anyone got any idea how to book a ship fromSingapore to Australia?

Hello, and welcome to the HUBB. Attached to this bulletin board is a website with heaps of info. In particular, we have a page called Shipments which contains reports from travellers who have done a shipment and shared their experience. Singapore to Darwin by sea has been done, and contact details are at the following link:

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, is another good possibility, with reports from there into Darwin, Perth, Melbourne and Sydney. Follow this link for Darwin and scroll down for the others, including a good description of the procedures in Australia, which are stringent.

Shipping to Perth or Sydney will be cheaper than Darwin (which is a surprise!)
Lucas Yap of Freight Logistics in KL comes recommended by several travellers, and his contact details are noted in the KL to Melbourne post.
Good luck, and let us know how you go!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
