Anyone have any tips, tricks, recommendations for ways to send a road bike to Australia from the US?
I would certainly love some advice!
(i will not be flying there)

yep been talking to bikeflights. They seem "reasonable" at $360. Fedex is a nonstarter at over $800.

bikeflights. The cheapest is to have someone fly with it over as long as you trust them and don't mind the hassle.

Your bike won't work in Australia, it has to do with Coriolis forces, same reason the whirlpool turns the other way in the bathtub. You have the get a southern hemisphere version.
