I used Toll to bring a bike from Brisbane. Cost me $75.
Good idea

But still, go to the local Post Office and ask for the booklet that has all the charges. Interesting reading. I have one somewhere, but not here. I gives all the details on what you can send, what dimensions and the costs. Often, the person at the other end of the PO phone doesn't reallly know. I've sent all sorts of stuff by Aus Post including a wheel (but that was around 8 years ago, from SA to Tas) and nothing has blown me out of the water cost-wise (most recently a fairly decent-sized box with weighty stuff from country Vic to Tas).

Worst comes to worst, maybe there's an AFL fan going over to Adelaide soon who can bring it back for you. Or shouldn't I go there?
