South coast buses 1970s

A neat little slideshow here, but a pity it doesn't have captions:

It seems to be one big graveyard of ex Sydney buses. And I wonder if that Adelaide Worldmaster kept its three doors?

(Offside bus photos don't go down well with me!)

I am most interested in the buses of this era. I would be pleased if anyone could provide details of any former Sydney privately operated bus featured in this video.

I think that Worldmaster was at Dion's. It sat in the gutter there for quite a while.

It was still wide bodied, I think it may have got a new body later.

The last photo with the Reo looks like part of the "museum" collection stored at Ingleburn in the early 70s.
