Hi, I am planning on going to Sydney in 6 months and was wondering if anyone has any space in a shipping container to share.

I appreciate your consideration.

I would think very expensive. Small items possibly take with. I would put in store SA until sure. Items you mention are cheap and would be provided if you rented initially. When positive ship or dump. This was what I done over 35 years ago. Hope this will help you.

I would carefully consider what you wish to take as shipping is expensive. Recently I sent 2 small suitcases and one shipping box, 1 meter x 1meter, by air from NZ to Australia. cost was NZ$780

Hi, thanks for your responses.聽 I received a price from South African Van Lines of R8250 for 2 cubic meters which I don't think is a bad price.
