I finally got my bike last month after arriving in Darwin Christmas day.
We learnt after there are a few other sea freight companies doing this route, Marriana was one and Swire is another, but not sure if they will give quotes for low container loads. There is no air freight as far as I know. It sounds a rough decision but if given chance now I would have ridden back to Bali to fly from there. Dealing with Toll has thankfully been the only real problem on our trip from the UK.

I'll ship it to Singapore on 25th from Dili and from there to Darwin on 8th of April.
