I have put together this list primarily for my own interest, but I thought it might also interest other Bus Fans out there! A lot of the information has some from Australian Bus Fleets Lists and from this forum in general.
I have excluded old night charter party buses, low height Denning and other coaches, preserved and museum buses and the odd other charter buses, such as the RML in Sydney and the Olympian/ECW in Adelaide - information seems difficult to assemble and I was more interested in the modern operating DD's, which includes the city sightseeing buses.
Operator names and bus details are simply as I colloquially refer to them, so not necessarily the correct titles. It is interesting to see how well Bustech's CDI sold in such such a small market, as Australia is!
