I've used Forward Air and been happy with the results.  But that was within the US (TX to CA) and they only handle North America;
I'm not sure how to connect with a similar service in OZ.

The folks in TX apparently loaned the seller a pallet, and helped him band the boxes (of engine parts) to the pallet.  I cut the
bands and left the pallet at the CA terminal.  They offered to fork lift it into my truck; but since I was driving a station wagon,
I needed to unload the pallet to make it fit.

Strictly terminal to terminal, though, so you'll need to check where the nearest one is.

Cost was very reasonable, they charged less for the whole pallet than UPS wanted for each box!  (And UPS would not take the engine
block.)
