The Bus Preservation Association of South Australia was formed in 2019 by a group of bus enthusiasts – all of whom owned retired buses from SA. Noting a high level of interest in their restored buses from the public, they decided that they could achieve more by forming an official group. With over thirty buses now owned by BPASA members, their goal is to find secure, affordable storage for the fleet; and showcase these old machines to the public and other enthusiasts alike.

Meetings are held quarterly, on the third Sunday in February, May, August and November. All welcome.

This thread is intended to inform readers of upcoming BPASA activities: tours, etc.
