semi-buses, coach's?

Hey, who needs the internet, this forum has all the information you need. Being thes seems to be an interest in sem buses thought I would send this in. I have always been fasciated by semi-buses since a kid, little knowing I would be driving one when I started work. Murray Valley coach's used to pull into the hotel for lunch where my parents worked at the Barmera hotel in SA.
They were pulled by White prime movers and used to really fly, the engines were later pulled and replaced with Gardner 5 cylinder diesels, which must have given the drivers suicidle thoughts! slow and noisy. For years I have been trying to find information on the history of these vehicle but to no avail, then in the Adelaide library a guy tod me of someone who did, Greg Travers, we exchanged emails for a bit and I sent him some stuff and in exchange he sent me his book. What a wonderful job he had done, so detailed, I am posting a few of his pictures to give y'all an idea what it's like

Powered by a Mercury side valve engine with one at the back trailer axle for added power, can you imagine putting your life on the reliability of hydraulic hoses?

Either the drivers chickened out or they just decided this may be a simpler way!

Ronhorse, as usual fantastic photo's and information, would be sad to lose all this, please keep it up, as you can see there are a lot of people that appreciate it.

Great photos Ron, there is a book out about Murray Valley Coachlines, have you read it ?

These are great looking buses, I have not seen any restored and are there any of these things hanging around for restoration.
Its my partners dream to rebuild a bus and since she seen these she has fallen in love with them and wants one :

Ronhorse, once again just saying the same as everyone else- please keep it up! Your photos and stories are fantastic, and really add life to the forum.
I'm so glad you can get this stuff posted. Thanks again!
Cheers
Richard
