We did not use any agent, and we cleared our bikes
and bags ourselves.
The entire process takes around 1.5 days.
Bikes are shipped without oil, petrol and battery. The
front wheel too had been removed. You cannot
assemble your bikes here, but must book a truck and
transport the bike to a garage for reassembly.
BIKING THROUGH AUSTRALIA
You need bike insurance to ride in Australia. We got
ours from AAMI Insurance that covered up to $7500
for one month. We bought the insurance via a phone
call and received the copy by email. We paid $50 for
my bike and $37 for Pankaj's bike.
Tolls are only in cities and it's all electronic. You
should buy it in advance or if you are just crossing the
city, you might able to get away with it.
You may need to exit the main motorways for petrol
pumps. They are easy to find as there is direction
signage everywhere. We used petrol called Octane 95.
Do not break the speed rules. Fines can be very
expensive.
Basic motels (not in big cities) will cost you $80 to
$120 dollars.
Basic meals at roadside eateries will cost $15 to $30
per head.
The route is perfect and has great scenery.
If you are flying your bikes out of Australia, crating
cannot be done by individuals, but by a certified
bike store / workshop that will give you a
'Drainage Certificate.' Only then will any airline
accept your bike. You do not need to remove the
battery, just unplug it. There is no need to remove the
oil either.
