I'm planning on getting a whole bunch of gear up there via surface freight or removalist company. I'm surprised more people aren't considering this option? Not cheap but more realistic than an EQ6 and a scope via excess baggage. When else will I get that opportunity at an eclipse?
Quote I got last year was around $220 per cubic metre each way from a removal company in Melbourne, but you may need a small local group doing it together to get to minimum quantity if you're only taking a very small amount.

So, pack it well, or leave it at home if flying up to Cairns.
