Mike, it is still there. Now painted Mission Brown. A Ford F60L,it belongs to the father-in-law of a mate of mine. Originally it was constructed to carry people to the Victorian snow fields at Mt. Hotham. Not as the Omeo to Bairnsdale bus. The last time I looked at it, it still had the Ford drivers book on the dashboard. My mate keeps saying that we should bring it here and get stuck into it. (I keep putting him off.)
The first photo in this thread looks to me like the bus is based on an MW Bedford. Regards Rick.

Well, B****r me! Still there? Must be a real croc by now.
Yes, Rick, your post prompted the memory cells to work a little better: it was the Omeo-Hotham run as you said. Talking of buses, the Australian Defence Force runs a pretty swish fleet of buses. On an EX I observed in the Northern Territory, we all, filthy from several days in the red dusty scrub, boarded these nice, clean buses for the 200 od miles trip into Palmerston. There was red dust everywhere by the time we got off. The military has had a fleet of buses ever since WW2: small numbers then. There were even a few sent to SVN, plus more hired from the US Army. Not blitzes, though, so off thread, as they say.... Mike C Collection: *just lots of piles of paper these days... |
