In August 2009 the Caloundra depot of Buslink had a mixed fleet devoted to school work, the large four digit numbers on paper in the windscreens linked to the contract number. This line up starts with one year old Mills-Tui Orbit bodied Mercedes OH1830 38 (237LCW), next 2003 ABM Starliner III bodied Hino RG230 88 (142IZK), next is a 2004 Iveco C260 with the same style body by Custom as their SB40, 108 (378JHV), both new to new to Stonestreets in Darwin. Fourth in line is another Starliner built in 1995 under Austral Denning on a Mercedes OH1418 chassis, 82 (277CYR), which came from the Stagecoach Sunshine Coast operation, the foundation of Buslink in the area. The bus alongside has the same specification and history, 78 (270ETK), but is a year older.
