 The ill wind of Covid wrought havoc on the Australian tourism industry. Extragreen was a company that catered for the incoming Chinese yourist market. In January 2017 this Marcopolo Audace bodied Volvo B7R, 87 (9268AO), new for the 2013 tourist season was one of many coaches stopping for lunch in Apollo Bay on the highly popular Great Ocean Road day tour. Covid killed Extragreen, it did not do much for Apollo Bay shops and restaurants either. It is believed all six of Extragreen's Volvos returned to dealer CMV Volvo's stock. The two on this page were snapped up ny Firefly but only stayed a couple of years.

 This is the other coach, 89 (9623AO), seen near Wynyard in Sydney in January 2016. It became 3 (BS06TH) and named Rosco's Joy with Firefly, however in late 2023 it was sold to Transit Systems as their 320.

 Leaving a rest stop on the Great Ocean Road in February 2017 is 87 again. This became Firefly's 2 (BS06TG), named Spicy. It too went to Transit Systems in Melbourne, becoming their 321. |
