Startrack is the go, just have 2 make sure its on a skid (pallet) and not leaking anything. We send em all the time.

Western Australian Frieghtlines & Toll - I deal with them all the time as well.
If its an large item on a pallet - Its possible that would be sent over via train but mostly by trucks to Adelaide/Port Adelaide or Port Augusta, if in that case make sure its fully wrapped up otherwise you'll end up dirty full of diesel scoot on it.

Try GKR Transport as well, I had some pretty good quotes from them.

A mate of mine got the best rates from Piperside Logistics when he rang around for prices on shipping an entire car from Perth to Melbourne a while ago. Might be worth a shot.

Yeah thats with insurance for up to $1000. i just emailed them on the off chance that they might and i got a great price. I tried a couple of the wa companies and the cheapest i got was $1200 to tassie, with $400 of that was transport to melbourne.
