 This Austral HD1 coach of Hawkesford's International had strayed as far as Flinders Street in Melbourne when seen in April 2010. The coach had been reregistered from TV888 to Victorian rego 6545AO. Sydney based Hawkesford's's also owned Deluxe Coaches in Melbourne, an operation they sold in November 2009. Oddly the coach is quoted as having been disposed of to Jetbus in 2007.

 We started with a doubledeck Denning Landseer and for now we end with two. This was "Fearless Fly", 50 (5550AO), dating from 1992. The coach is seen near Sydney Central Station in January 2015 with small South Coast operator Gerringong Buses from the town of the same name, with new rego TV6168. Gerringong had acquired the coach from The Oxley Explorer of Walcha where it had been numbered 23. It has since moved on to Langleys of Dubbo.
