SHOWBUS AUSTRALIA BUS IMAGE GALLERY
McKenzie's Tourist Services | Miscellany

 The depot is situated on the Maroondah Highway in the centre of Healesville, on the right hand side as you head east out of town. This March 2013 view shows most of the fleet at home on a Sunday morning. |
 Stashed in the corner of the depot yard was 40 (SW400), a 1947 Weber bodied International chassis with a rear engine layout, most unusual in 1940s Australia. Weber was responsible for the rear engine and they used to make some of their own chassis also. The bus was commonly referred to as the "pusher" because of its rear engine. Unfortunately since the Dineen takeover it has been left in the open and neglected. Local preservationists are keen to see it rescued before it is beyond salvation, but it is due to go under cover when McKenzie's new depot is ready. Thanks to Gary Driver of Driver Bus Lines for information on the vehicle. |

 The Weber was not looking a lot better in February 2024 when the Bus & Coach Society of Victoria (BCSV) visited the new depot, but it was still expected to be kept under cover.

 At least three of the six BCI bodied Mercedes O500RF coaches with their Tourismo inspired coachwork were at the Domain schools' event in April 2019. All six were acquired for the 2017 summer season, but no other Dineen subsidiary took any. This is 2150AO, the others all receiving BS regos. The coach was sold on in 2024 to the Tinonee Bus Company, Taree & Watsons Bus Company in Woodenbong, NSW.

 Liveried for Little Yarra Steiner School was Volgren Endura bodied Scania K310IB XV08BK, since re-registered BS10AY. It may just be garaged with McKenzies as it is an oddity in their fleet.
