Try to find people moving from AU to OZ, and negociate a place in their container.
I know there are web sites putting people in contact for this for France => AUS, maybe some exists also for AUS=>US ?
Good idea. Thanks. I will look into that for sure. I contacted UPS about getting a quote for what they call "less-than-container" load but they wrote back and said they don't ship personal items and that I need to contact an international shipper.
