Smiths Gully is a small rural community on Melbourne’s north-eastern fringe, with winding roads, leafy blocks and houses tucked among the gum trees. There’s no real town centre, just a hall, a few farms and a lot of quiet. Plenty of people moved out here for the space and the birdsong, and most of them have stayed for years.

If you’re booking a removalist in Smiths Gully, the first thing we’ll ask about is the driveway. A lot of them are long, steep and gravel, with a tight bend, a gate or a low branch that a full-size truck can’t always get past. A quick phone snap is usually enough for us to pick the right size. After a rainy week, we allow more time, because mud and heavy furniture don’t mix.

Properties like these usually hold more than the house itself. There’s a shed full of tools, garden gear and a few solid timber pieces that have been in the family for years. Our furniture movers at Mover Melbourne wrap and strap everything for the bumpy drive out. You’ll know the price before we start, and it won’t change on the day.
