    Default Help please - wood to Blue Mountains

    I have a log of wood, 40 inches long and about 10
    inches diameter, to go from Wallan Victoria to
    Springwood in the Blue Mountains. It is for a
    fellow Forumite.

    My local transport operator cannot assist in the
    short term and it may be weeks before he could.

    Does anyone have a transport operator (truckie
    mate) who may be able to assist.

    For the record I can meet such a person on the
    Hume Highway to load it at short notice. The log
    could be taken to Springwood, Katoomba or Penrith
    and picked up from a depot or location nearby.

    A suitable donation toward fuel costs would be made.

    All suggestions welcomed.

    Allan

    Given the WW show, could you get it done in 2 steps?

    Someone to get it to the WW show, and someone else to get it from the show to the mountains?

    Is there a time frame?

    Cheers,
    Andrew

    Get it to a reasonable location in Sydney, and I can get it to Springwood. Not on the south side.

If he gets it without working for it; he's a parasite; and if he accumulates it after a life time of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out of life."

    Thanks for your ideas, will be continuing to
    get a solution. Have been getting quotes
    from various companies but trying to minimise
    cost to the Forumite.

    If you get it to the show Allan the OTGA stand is where I'll be or I can pick it up from another stand if need be or maybe the forumite might go to the show.

    Sydney to Springwood is easy for me. I will be doing it three times over the course of the WWW Show (I also live in Springwood).

    Hooray, a little luck at last.

    I knocked on the door of a home in Wallan
    as there was a prime mover parked on the front lawn.

    He transports cars from Melbourne to Sydney about
    five times per fortnight and is leaving again Tuesday
    morning.

    The log of wood will now be picked up by the Forumite
    direct from their premises.

    Thanks to Arose (Andrew), Wheelin Around (Ray)
    BobR, Ruddigar and Echidna (Bob) for their efforts in
    providing a solution.

    Allan
