Backloading to Cairns

For smooth shared-load moves, use our backloading & moving tips and browse common answers on questions about moving.
Cairns-Specific Move Considerations
Wet Season, Humidity & Building Access
- Seasonality: Wet season (roughly November–April) can affect site access and lift bookings. Lock dates in early.
- Humidity care: Air movers, breathable wraps and moisture-safe packing help prevent swelling or surface bloom on timber and leather.
- High-rise logistics: Book lifts and loading zones; confirm vehicle height limits and any body corporate requirements in advance.
- White goods: Drain and air out fridges/washers 24 hours pre-pickup; tape hoses and shelves to prevent movement.
Packing Options
DIY, Assisted or Full Pack
Choose a full professional pack or a hybrid approach. If packing yourself, follow our how to move guide for a week-by-week plan and use the best way to move checklist for cartons, void-fill and “fragile/room” labels. These steps reduce handling time and protect contents through tropical conditions.
Insurance & Peace of Mind
Know Your Cover Before Moving Day
For policy details and optional cover, review our insurance policy. We also recommend confirming any building insurance conditions and strata rules. For an overview of what’s included on move day, see our moving overview.

Ah, the excitement of a long distance move! The places you'll go, the people you'll meet, and the memories you'll make. But before all of that begins, the dreaded task of packing must be tackled. Don't worry, though. With these tips and tricks, you'll be able to pack boxes and organise your move within Queensland like a pro! First things first, declutter your home. Donate or sell items that you no longer need to make the move lighter. Next, invest in sturdy boxes and packing supplies to ensure your items are safe during transit. Make sure to label every box with its contents and the room it belongs in so unpacking is a breeze. And finally, don't forget to take breaks and hydrate. Moving is hard work, but with a well-organised plan, you'll be sipping tea in your new home in no time.
