This Mercedes in the Whitsunday Transit fleet is in standard bus livery! The photo effect vinyls provide
the dramatic effect of a real seascape. 418FAJ is an ex-State Transit NSW Mercedes O305/PMC Mk II
with a modified front done by Bus Stop (dealer). Seen at Shute Harbour it is about to
depart for Cannonvale, the other side of Airlie Beach, and close to the depot and local zoo. There is
another depot, believed to be in the Proserpine area.

Also seen at Shute Harbour in the same colours, but
looking even more striking is one of several low floor Mercedes O405NH with Australian built Bustech
coachwork. Bustech is partly owned by the management of Surfside Bus Lines of Gold Coast.

This view is seen as the vehicle sweeps through
the Airlie Beach resort area. |
 |
With an appropriate backdrop of palm trees, this Bustech loads in Airlie for Cannonvale outside one of the
major backpacker bars and residences.

 |
Loading at the same venue for Proserpine Airport is one of a number of Coach Design bodied MAN coaches,
but this one differs from the others in deploying a bus version of the 'waves' livery.
