Melbourne to Perth Removalists
UNN is a removalist crossing the Nullarbor between Melbourne and Perth. Four to nine days, on one truck throughout. It is about 600 kilometres shorter than the Sydney crossing. Your price is set at booking. And you get an honest delivery window, because nobody can guarantee a single day out there.
What is included?
- A crew of ours at the Melbourne end and the Perth end
- One price, set at booking for the whole crossing
- Extra bracing and padding for days of road vibration
- Your WA entry declaration prepared with you before departure
- A kitchen and pantry check so nothing is surrendered at Eucla
- Furniture dismantled here and rebuilt over there
- $20M public liability and $20M goods in transit cover
- Tracking across the whole Eyre Highway

No obligation. Fixed price, not an estimate.
Can you promise my furniture arrives on a set day?
No, and we would rather say so. Everything between the eastern states and Perth runs on the Eyre Highway. One sealed road, and when it shuts there is no sensible way around.
This is not rare. In January 2020 bushfire near Norseman closed it for twelve days.
That same summer flooding cut the northern routes at once. Road freight into Western Australia all but stopped. In 2024 flooding pushed the regulator to issue emergency notices.
Any mover guaranteeing a Perth date in February is guessing.
So you get a window rather than a single day. We watch the road from the moment you book. If it moves, you hear the same day, and your load stays with our driver.
What does a Melbourne to Perth move cost?
One price, agreed at booking. Distance is fixed on this run, so what moves the number is how much you bring.

What affects your quote
-
How much you bring
On a crossing this long, volume is almost the whole price. Cull before you quote.
-
Access at each end
A Melbourne dock is easy. A Perth hills driveway with a tight turn is not.
-
Packing
Your own boxes cost less. Ours cost more and survive the Nullarbor better.
-
Season
Summer brings fire risk and the holiday rush. Autumn is the easiest time to book.
How long does it take?
Four to nine days door to door. Shorter than from Sydney, and here is why.
Around 3,400 kilometres
Western and Dukes highways, through Adelaide, then the Eyre Highway to Perth.
42 to 45 hours of driving
Wheel time only. Fuel stops, checks and the border all add to it.
Twelve on, seven off
A driver may work 12 hours in any 24, with seven continuous hours of rest.
A day quicker than Sydney
About 600 kilometres less, which is the difference between four driving days and five.
Why book UNN for this run?
-
An honest window
We quote a range we can hold. A single guaranteed date across the Nullarbor is a sales line.
-
You are told the day it changes
We watch the road the whole way. Bad news reaches you early, not when the truck is late.
-
Your load never leaves our driver
No depot, no second carrier, no handover. One truck from Melbourne to Perth.
-
The pantry gets checked first
We go through the kitchen before load day so nothing is surrendered at Eucla.
What Melbourne customers say
What else do people ask?
Why is this quicker than from Sydney?
What will they take off me at Eucla?
Can I bring the garden pots?
What if the Nullarbor closes while my things are on it?
Can my car come too?
Should I just sell everything and start again?
