 Interstate and Regional Moves
Moving long distances either within NSW or interstate can be a daunting prospect and presents a unique set of
challenges. The most important thing when planning a long distance move is being organised! Remember, you can't
just quickly pop back to your old neighbourhood if you've left something behind. Use our various checklists to
ensure that you haven't forgotten anything and don't forget to check places like under the house or in the roof
space for those items you've stored away.
You not only have to think about how your precious possessions will be moved when you move long distances or
interstate but also how your family will be moving.
- Are you all travelling together?
- Will you be going at the same time as your removalists or do you plan to stagger your move?
- Are you driving? Flying?
- Will you need to arrange accommodation along the way?
- Do you have any pets moving with you? Any plants?
Ensure that you give yourself a lot of time to plan your move. Remember that an interstate move (eg.
Sydney-Melbourne, Sydney-Brisbane) will take your removalist at least 3 days so they may not be able to
accommodate you if you call to book the week before! Talk with them well in advance about what their plan is
for your move.
If you are driving, ensure that all your vehicles are roadworthy - a pre trip service is a good idea. Make sure
you have appropriate transport crates for your pets - remember that your removalist cannot transport live animals.
We are however happy to transport any pot plants you may have, but keep in mind that they will be in the back of a
hot truck and won't be watered for the duration of the trip.
