How to transport pet interstate?

i need to get my small dog from adelaide to cairns, anyone know a good way that i can do this?? im stuck at figuring it out. i thought that i could take it as included baggage on qantas flights but then i read on their website that

Pets that must be sent as freight to or from these airports: Pets are not permitted in the passenger terminals of the following airports either for departure or arrival: Adelaide, Alice Springs, Cairns, Darwin, Gove, Hobart, Karratha, Perth, Port Hedland and Townsville. All permitted pets must be lodged at the Australian air Express freight terminal and you will be required to pay the applicable rate for the carriage of the pet. When pets are travelling to any of these destinations they must be collected from the freight terminal at the arrival destination.


meaning that it will cost me to take my pet if i read correctly???
