I’m taking a big empty trailer to Melbourne on about this date, to pick up some machines, if anyone in Victoria is thinking about buying something in Sydney and needs it moved, it could be arranged to come with me. Carrying capacity is 1200 kgs. PM for contact, good luck and stay safe everyone.

Just an update: This was a great success! Picked up Bernmc sawstop saw on Friday, picked up my copilot, and off we went. Dropped off the saw in Melbourne that evening and stayed at a motel recommended by a forum member. Then we were roused early by a member of the monash mens shed and escorted there to pick up the big cyclone unit, they were organised and ready. I was impressed with the setup there.
Then off to aarggh’s place to pick up the cold saw, it was an easy load as Ian is built like Adonis and virtually carried it into the trailer himself. Then out to the lovely hamlet of Whittlesea to pick up rustynail’s power feeder from Joel. What a great setup he has, including, of all things, a Lamborghini up on the hoist in the shed, as well as an impressive play room of woodwork machines. I also picked up the planer heads and knives from Col who had dropped them there. Quick lunch in the town of Whittlesea and we were away.
9 hours later we met up with Ken at one of the many McDonalds in the Narellan town and gave him his power feeder. Then onto home. Now I’ve just got to rustle up some help to get the coldsaw into the boat snd home this morning.
Overall it was a good trip with the bride and it was great to help and meet a few other forum members.
