How hard can it be to ship our Land Rover Defender to Australia?

We have already shipped internationally our 4x4 overland rig twice. Once as a RORO from Germany to Canada, and once by container from Panama to Colombia.

However, shipping an overlanding vehicle to Australia is not your usual international freight shipment. Taking the decision to add Australia on our world tour journey itinerary ended up being a significant commitment as it is without doubt one of the most challenging country to ship to.

In this episode we guide you through the 10 days preparation of our Defender to get it ready to hopefully pass Australia’s strict bio-security requirements. Without surprise it is the in-depth cleaning of the car that took out the most time and effort to complete, in includes the crafting of unique cleaning tools, and unusual positions in between the pipes, the chassis and the engine to reach the most remote mud patches. We also talk through picking a shipping agent, container loading process, and packing gear for a shipment.
