Curtainsided containers seem like fun - useful for space allocation and loading/unloading with lots of people.

They deliver a container to be filled, then pick it up  and take it to your new location...

Those prices look like rent a truck is the way to go. A container is less flexible, more difficult logistically and 4 times the price. Unless I am missing something....

If you guys hire a truck, Lorix is looking for a way to transport her gear (currently stored in a garage in Yass). If you picked it up, she can offer funds towards hire costs etc and a place to stay in Yass for the weary driver if needed.
Better yet, it won't need to be transported back again.
