Hi all ? New to this ... I'm travelling over on a whv in July and staying with friends in Melbourne but contemplating flying into Perth and driving over to Melbourne but it is proving to be an expensive venture to try and plan as car companies want a small fortune to drop the car off in Melbourne (around £1000) . Just wondering if anyone else may be thinking of doing the same trip around the same time so that we can split the cost and also so I won't be tracking all that way on my own ? thanks
