Yup moving is an expensive business Ahurani! Lol. MIL moved from Sydney to Mackay a couple of years ago. It cost probably around $3000, but she hired a small truck to move all her stuff and DF drove it up and back, so she really only had to pay for fuel for all the vehicles (they had a convoy..the truck, her car and another relative's car), accomodation for one night, and the truck hire.
