I'd gladly drive as far as Gosford to deliver it, that is not a problem. Post/courier would be very $$$ due to bulk.
This scope is very manageable for one person. The total assembly weighs 41Kg including the tripod. The OTA/Forks weigh 32Kg, and need to be lifted onto the tripod base.
If you decide to use a wedge, then it becomes a bit more of a two person job to get it lined up, unless you have a little extra muscle or height.
I have the original box for the scope, as well as the hard case that is listed in another thread. The hard case is much more transportable for one person, as it has wheels.
Regards,
Eric
