Northern Tasmania and the Tamar Valley. The shortest Bass Strait move — off the Spirit of Tasmania at Devonport, then straight to Launceston.
Launceston is northern Tasmania's biggest city and the gateway to the Tamar Valley — Australia's second-oldest wine region. It's a growing Melbourne destination for tree-change families, University of Tasmania Newnham-campus relocations, and hospitality and wine-industry professionals.
Launceston is a shorter Bass Strait route than Hobart because Devonport (where the Spirit of Tasmania arrives) is only 100 km north. Truck to Geelong, ferry across Bass Strait, then a short truck run into Launceston. Total transit typically 7–12 business days.
Straight talk about timing, how your goods actually travel, and what's included, so there are no surprises.
For most Melbourne-to-interstate moves the most efficient approach combines rail-based container transport to a destination hub, then final-mile truck delivery to your door. This is how the majority of professional interstate removalists in Australia handle long-haul moves — it's safer for your belongings and cheaper for you than a straight-through road move. Shorter routes (Melbourne ↔ Sydney, Melbourne ↔ Canberra, Sydney ↔ Newcastle) usually run road-only in a dedicated interstate removals truck.
Settlement dates rarely line up perfectly when you're moving interstate. We offer secure short-term storage at our Cheltenham depot — useful if your destination move-in date slips and you need interstate removalists who can hold everything a few extra days before it ships out. Melbourne-side storage only; if you need storage on arrival at your destination city, ask us and we'll recommend a partner.
A dedicated container or truck is the fastest interstate removals option and best for full home moves. A shared load (sometimes called a backload) can be significantly cheaper than dedicated interstate movers if you have flexibility on pickup and delivery dates. We'll recommend which suits your interstate move based on your inventory, dates, and budget.
Every quote from our interstate removalists includes full transit insurance, heavy-duty blankets and wrapping for furniture, professional loading and unloading, and all fuel and tolls. No fuel levies added on the day, no separate depot-to-door fees. What we quote is what you pay for your interstate move.
The price your interstate removalist quotes you is the price you pay. Fuel included, tolls included, standard access loading included. No day-of-move extras appearing on your final invoice — one of the most common complaints about cheaper interstate moving companies, and one we've built our fixed-price model to remove entirely.
We're accredited with the Australian Furniture Removers Association (AFRA) — the industry body that audits interstate removalists on insurance, equipment, training and complaints handling. If a claim ever arose, AFRA membership means it's handled through proper industry process rather than left to chance. Look for the AFRA logo when choosing between interstate moving companies — it's the single most reliable indicator of a legitimate operator.

Matty and eric were amazing! Lovely guys and Super efficient! Awesome job thanks Easley Peasey we will definitely use you again for future moves!
Very easy to deal with from booking to packing and unpacking the truck. The removal team of David and Oscar were very thorough and careful but also efficient. Highly recommended.
Chris and JP from Easy Peasy Removals were terrific. They were very pleasant and polite and careful with our belongings, moving all our belongings carefully including some large antiques. I can really recommend Easy Peasy. They made our move so much easier.

Interstate removalist costs depend on route distance, truck or container size, and whether it's a dedicated or shared load. Our fixed-price interstate removals table gives you an exact figure for our most-run routes — Melbourne ↔ Sydney starts from around $4,500 for a 4T truck (roughly a studio or 1-bedroom apartment), Melbourne ↔ Adelaide from $3,800, Melbourne ↔ Canberra from $3,200. Longer routes (Perth, Darwin, Cairns) are quoted per job. Enter your details in our instant quote calculator and you'll see the exact price for your specific interstate move in under two minutes.
Transit times for interstate removalists vary significantly by route. Short routes: Melbourne ↔ Sydney 2-4 business days, Melbourne ↔ Canberra 1-3 days. Medium routes: Melbourne ↔ Brisbane 4-7 days, Melbourne ↔ Adelaide 3-5 days. Long-haul routes: Melbourne ↔ Perth 7-14 days, Melbourne ↔ Darwin 10-18 days, Melbourne ↔ Hobart 5-10 days. These are working-day estimates on our regular interstate removals schedule; dedicated trucks are faster than shared loads.
Yes. We're accredited with the Australian Furniture Removers Association (AFRA) — the industry body that audits interstate removalists every year on insurance, training, equipment and complaints handling. If you're comparing interstate moving companies, AFRA accreditation is the single most reliable indicator that you're dealing with a legitimate operator rather than a broker or one-truck outfit.
Every one of our interstate removals quotes includes full public liability insurance and goods-in-transit insurance. Public liability covers property damage during loading and unloading. Goods-in-transit covers your belongings during the interstate leg. Certificates of currency are provided on request for building managers or corporate relocations — this is often required when moving into or out of CBD apartment towers.
