1 - Bus purchase and driving it to the block

January 2014

The Bus as we bought it. This was taken in Brighton. We bought the bus from a lady whose father had purchased a number of buses from Metro Tasmania and he had passed away. This was the only Articulated bus and we picked it up for $6,000AUD. It is a Volvo B10ML.

Some pics of the bus  recently in use and some more from where we bought it.

Driving the bus to Launceston. Brian doing the driving (Heavy Rigid Licence required) The bus drove well. Took about 3.5 hours all together.

7^th January 2014 - A stop at Epping Forest. We had to leave the bus running as the batteries were shot. (Brian and Judah)

 7^th January 2014 - The Bus in place. We had to take down a fence to the paddock to get it here. (Brian, Emma & Dad)

So here is our inspiration. We came across this Bus House on the internet and both loved it! We really want our Bus House to be more ‘cabin’ like rather than ‘motorhome’ like.
