Re: Historic Adelaide photo's
i Think the bus in the first photo is a Bedford VAS (looks to small for an SB).
Never Fear, Bedford's Are Here!

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

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.TT wrote:Henley Beach Rd, corner of Burnley St, just before the S bend.Volvo B59 1207 in one of the first AOA liveries, advertising Aussie Bonds.

Re: Historic Adelaide photo's
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.

There were plenty of them, so could be any from the many that were in the EDSA fleet at that time.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.
Not after yesterday and today's rain. The Torrens River and Torrens Lake is back to capacity now.Heard the level's been down a bit over the last few weeks
