Two hours west up the Burnett Highway, and the citrus centre of the state. Mandarins and oranges on the flats, cattle on the hills, and a run we make often enough that Gayndah is routine rather than a special trip.
Around Gayndah it's mostly cartons, trays and packaging bought in bulk before the season starts, netting and covers between uses, ladders, bags and clippers that need to lock up while a large seasonal crew comes and goes, and — further out towards Eidsvold, Monto and the Mount Perry road — fodder, fencing, bore and pump gear on grazing country. Whatever the job, the process doesn't change: one call, one delivered price with the freight in it, and the right truck matched to your access.

Guide pricing only, ex GST — what you pay delivered depends on where you are and what's in the yard that week. Ring 07 4152 3388 and we'll give you a real number, not a range. Freight to Gayndah is quoted with the container, so the number you're given is the number you pay.
Distance is the first thing to sort out rather than the last. Tell us the property name, the turn-off and whether the final stretch is bitumen, gravel or station track, and what any grid along the way is rated to carry. Orchard blocks bring their own hazards: mature rows sit lower and narrower than they look from the ute, and mainlines and risers run right where a truck wants to stand, so a hardstand near the shed almost always beats a gap between the trees. Overhead is the other one — feeders, and the big shade trees nobody has trimmed since the homestead was built. If the property takes in any of the river flats, we will settle where the unit sits before we talk about how it gets there.
The general rule everywhere: firm level ground, roughly 20m of straight run for a tilt-tray or 30m of working room for a sidelifter, and nothing overhead. If you're not sure, send a photo of the approach — it settles the question in seconds. There's a full rundown in what we need to get a container onto your block.
