Stunning, especially the picture of the brand new Merc's.

However this is missing a certain vehicle of the "brown" variety

[Volvo B12BLEA]

Thanks for sharing.
2 of my favourite Adelaide subjects......Volvo B59's & Red Hens!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I certainly look forward to future instalments.

i Think the bus in the first photo is a Bedford VAS (looks to small for an SB).

Volvo B59 1207 in one of the first AOA liveries, advertising Aussie Bonds. Spot the location? Note the AEC Swift on the other side of the road.

Henley Beach Rd, corner of Burnley St, just before the S bend.

Bingo! Give this man the chocolates. I thought it might have taken longer to go off. The AEC Swift in the background would be displaying Route 28L which terminated in Henley South.

Those buses on the O-Bahn look great!!

[The Inspector]

Great pics there steve, glad someone has these and is able to scan them to save them for the future, would be a great loss to loose images such as these.

Cant wait to see more

[Eagle Eye]

The shot of the Mercs testing the O-Bahn - is that the bridge over the river between Paradise & Klemzig? If it is it's certainly changed over time. Look at the water level compared to now (or even 5-10 years ago). Great shots Mayor.

[Jumbles]

Isn't that the Torrens?

Heard the level's been down a bit over the last few weeks

[austranz]

Fantastic pics. I love the AOA buses.

And i still remember the "KING, KONG, STRONG" tv advert too

Looking forward to more shots

I think I've seen that yellow bus in somone's backyard when going to Noarlunga on the 722F as both have the same front and probably the same length.

There were plenty of them, so could be any from the many that were in the EDSA fleet at that time.

Not after yesterday and today's rain. The Torrens River and Torrens Lake is back to capacity now.

[EX PTC & PTB]

Absolute Gems Steve!!!!! An absolute pleasure to have these to behold, thanks for sharing these historical photo's!

Why does 1502 have the exhaust sticking out the top of the bus?

To this day you can still travel in a vintage Red Hen's at Korumburra Sth Gippsland Railway.
Very nice photo's The Mayor.There is a Ex STA B59 Volvo being used by a church group in Melton Vic.
