Cairns to Brisbane runs the full length of the Bruce Highway — about 1,700 km south from our Cairns depot through Townsville, Mackay, Rockhampton and Gympie to South-East Queensland. It's Far North Queensland's main vehicle-freight artery, and our carriers work it on a regular schedule.
Your car arrives at the Stapylton yard on the M1 south of Brisbane, handy to both Brisbane and the Gold Coast, with door-to-door delivery across the metro area. End-of-season moves south and FNQ families relocating to the capital keep this lane busy; quoted at 7–15 business days.
Pickup — Cairns depot: 13 Gosper Close, Cairns QLD 4870, in Cairns' southside industrial precinct, an easy run from the Bruce Highway.
Delivery — Brisbane Stapylton depot: 6 Elliot Drive, Stapylton QLD 4207, on the M1 between Brisbane and the Gold Coast, about 35 minutes south of the Brisbane CBD.
