Mystery Custom Volvo Ettalong Beach.
Caught this on my walk to the shops. Got a rude toot from a motorist wanting to get in the space I was standing in to get this shot. That's Ettalong Beach for you.

It is usually sighted between West Gosford to Woy Woy. Today an hour ago, I saw it driving south in Brisbane Water Drive towards Point Clare.

I’m fairly confident the bus details you have listed are not for the bus pictured. The bus listed above was a “brown bomber” PMCSA Volvo artic - very different from the bus picturedFleet Lists wrote: ↑Thu Jun 29, 2023 7:02 pm It is ex Adelaide according to fleet list.

Re: Mystery Custom Volvo Ettalong Beach.
That's definitely a former Busabout bus for starters, although with the green stripe deleted as part of the livery
I'm fairly confident this is an ex Busabout bus.

Re: Mystery Custom Volvo Ettalong Beach.
Why so much interest in this bland looking box on skates?
I never got the cult status this body enjoys.
