A visit to O'Neill's depot in Cygnet, south of Hobart, in February 2019 found an interesting collection of vehicles, largely used on school contracts. This Newnham bodied Hino RG197K, C35ZQ, was new in 1993 to Dysons where it had been 2 (4201AO). With the depot on a slight hillside the bus is somewhat precariously perched on a platform jutting out at right angles from the depot shed.
