I dont know if they still exist but there used to a small airline that operated out of Belmont airport
They were always incredibly helpful and would arrange everything even though they usually didnt fly to the final destination or pick up point
Very good prices too and they really looked after me for years
The dash 8 thing was a joke
We used to get baby fish sent down from Qld along with reptiles from all over
I couldnt count the number of times we had to make a rush trip to Sydney because Qantas had switched planes
[the fee remained the same though]
