I live in Sydney and am a major fan of Sydney buses, however these photos make me jealous of the nice assortment of buses you have over there in Perth. The only shame is the batch of buses exemplified by 1773 - my god that is one of the ugliest looking buses on earth.
Great stuff, thanks for sharing!

Point of correction ... 693 is a PR180 not a 100.2

Re: "Point and Shoot" days
What a sad sight to see that I have only ever seen the bus style like 444 for the first tonight & I never knew tha SCT had 482. Great pics that show Transperth history.
Also Ikarbus, I agree with you there, they were as bad as Dennis Darts & they are one of the worst in Canberra & Perth. I just never had any love for them.

Payback is a bitch, but is fun to watch.

I like the Merc 0305 No. 444 with the square roofline. It very much reminds me of the MKIV 0305 Sydney Merc!-
