I looked into picking up my Cobra from Sydney, but found a transport company which worked out cheaper and less hassle. I'm sure you have looked into that.
You are welcome to drop by on the way back if you like.

Good on you Dave I say.
Transport Companys don't give a F#ck and you would be beside yourself if
it was damaged in any way.
I drove from Canberra which was only 2000k's round trip for that reason to pick mine up.
Travel safe.

Exactly, I have had plenty of damaged kit cars from freighting and few on here could tell a few stories about freight damage I bet.
For me there is a few reasons why I am picking the car up.
1-The freight companies don't care. My car has an alloy body and it won't forgive a rub here or a nudge there....I bet even plastic shrink wrap could wrap the panels. Fibreglass is great it pops back out or just deflects ,not alloy.
2- I have plenty of time off at the moment and I havent driven across the country since I was a kid.
3- I bought a lovely enclosed car trailer which is also at the Pace factory now.
I'm doing about 800k a day easy going and not speeding. Staying in lovely motels so not roughing it in the slightest. I'm planing on going to Dubbo to meet Mark so lots of things to and see on the way. A good Mate of mine is flying to Brissy Sunday and driving home with me so will have company.....that's my story

Too early to estimate when you'll be going through Pt Augusta on the way back?

Depending on timing, slight chance I might be able to make it up to PA to wave.
My car came 'home' on Friday
This is a road trip you'll talk about for decades, mate. Enjoy!
Cheers,

Great squid fishing off that jetty at Ceduna and plenty of King George Whiting in the bay.

Didn't happen
You know Dave, I think you've just gone to Ceduna for a holliday and you're not in QLD at all or even picking up an alloy bodied Cobra - 'cause there's NO PICS
