Vehicle transport Townsville
Townsville is a Defence city first and a mining and port city second, and both shape what moves through it.
Corridors serving Townsville
Townsville is serviced off our Brisbane runs, so these are the corridors your vehicle travels on, with a local leg at the Townsville end. Prices are indicative starting points for a sedan, depot-to-depot, one way.
| Corridor | Distance | Typical transit | Departures | Mode | From | Details |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brisbane Townsville | 1,350 km | 3–6 business days | Weekly | Road | $620 | Details |
Lavarack Barracks and RAAF Base Townsville generate substantial vehicle movement on the posting cycle, which peaks hard in December and January alongside every other Australian move. If you are posting in or out, book four to six weeks ahead. This is one of the tightest capacity windows on our entire network. The other seasonal factor is cyclones: between November and April, services north of Rockhampton can be delayed or suspended at short notice, and we build buffer into quoted windows accordingly rather than pretending the risk is not there. Access across Townsville is straightforward, with the exception of Castle Hill's steeper streets.
Indicative prices from Brisbane
Townsville is quoted off the Brisbane rate plus the local leg, so treat these as a floor rather than your price.

| Sydney | 1–3 days | $470 |
| Canberra | 2–4 days | $560 |
| Cairns | 3–7 days | $690 |
