TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.international freight

I didnt know where to ask this, so here is good enough as anywhere 
I have a load of camping/climbing gear at my parents house in Scotland that i want to ship over to Tas but the cost of freighting it over seems ridiculous. Does anyone know a cheap method or company that I can get about 20kg of gear shipped to Tas for less than $200 (best quote I have found so far 
). Cheers.

Hey doogs at $10.00 a kilo it is less than the cost of two Pints or a couple of good coffees and less than a couple of Big Mac meals 
I know you are a Scot but cheap freight may mean non delivery and its no a banjo you will be wantin but the pipes playing "Flowers of the Forest" do you need a wee whip roon I think I still have a wee silver thruppeny I could sell you

The new tent I was wanting will have to wait until spring.
