Hey hun
I have moved interstate twice
My advise is first find out how much it cost to move your stuff, check with companies "taking" stuff to your city from Alice, they do cheaper rates for back-loading. We also found bus companies take boxes much cheaper than moving companies.
Also checking these prices, is a good way to indicate if selling your stuff is best option. From experience Alice is not a very cheap place, nor and easy place to purchase things.

Will come back if I think of more.
