Linien- und Reisebusse - Australien: Bücher - Geschichte

Australian Buses and Coaches

This book presents a chronological overview of Australian buses, showcasing the evolution from the oldest color images to the latest models. While the focus is primarily on buses, it also highlights Australian-built chassis commonly used for coach operations.

Before World War II, buses were predominantly of British origin with locally crafted bodywork. In the 1970s, there was a surge in European chassis adoption, which now forms the majority of modern buses. Australia also saw influence from various chassis manufacturers worldwide, including Japan, Korea, USA, New Zealand, and Canada. Each state had its own body builders, contributing to a diverse range of designs.

Featuring a multitude of body designs, this lavishly illustrated book captures key moments in Australia's bus history. It's a captivating read for both bus enthusiasts and anyone with fond memories of riding Australian buses.
