Visiting Bendigo in February 2012, the hospitable George Dawson, proprietor of Bendigo Coachines drove me from his depot to his home to show me his Bedford OB under restoration. Finished externally it made its debut at Sandown this year, looking much different to this picture 21 months earlier. |

Very attractive was the side fleetname, beautifully sign written, with the quaint 11 phone number! The Dawson family run buses in Bendigo under the name Kangaroo Flat, but sold the operation to Christian's to concentrate on the coach side. Though the OB is reminiscent of the first buses used, its history is obscure and is not thought to have served in Bendigo. Picture ref A1376 |
