Off the top of my head, it was about 600$ to get my GPX from Sydney to Adelaide, on a truck... Can't remember what company though. I think it was TNT.

DON'T EVER USE THE TRAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They screwed my Veilside frontbar and I'm still waiting for it to be fixed, from over a month ago...

I just bought my FTO and had to get it from Sydney to Brisbane. I ended up driving it up for the pleasure factor but from investigating the shipping costs, it was generally between $400 and $600 with one exception. Sydney Melbourne Brisbane Car Express was $324.
A couple of things to check when booking. Does the price include GST? Does the price include insurance? And it's worth asking whether they offer a discount if you're a member of a car club like RACQ or NRMA.
