i`m just down the highway at miriam vale.
most of the big car transporters (tnt, toll, etc) come through this way every day so if you gave them a call they should be able to help.

i have also seen Harvies and Claytons tilt trays from the sunny coast up here .

why not drive the old girl up. catch the tilt train back. proberly cheaper then a truck and more fun.
