For the past couple of months, we have seen modern buses trapsing through mountain scapes, soaking up sun at the beach and posing in front of stunning sunsets. For October however, we decided to throw it back a few decades, shining the spotlight on a retired beauty that has stood the test of time.
Last month’s Best Bus winner, courtesy of Allen Earnshaw, was a tough entry to top, transporting us to the stunning slopes at Mt Doom.
This month’s winner didn’t take the crown too easily either, with another busy month of photo entries for Best Bus vying it out for top spot.

Russell Woodcocks 2014 Yutong D12 was a close contender, dubbing his bus the “the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow”.
Andre Mendes da Cost’s coach stood proudly out the front of Chateau Tongariro while David Burgess captured a line of new Ventura Marcopolo’s.
Fresh out of the signwriters, Michael Langley’s shot was taken after an extensive top to tail rebuild of an Australia Wide Coaches vehicle.
While the competition was fierce this month, it was ultimately Sonia King who took home gold.
“This is a 1948 Federal bus from America that was used by Boronia Bus lines on a school run,” King told ABC.
While the Federal has seen better days, it’s always nice to see an old girl getting recognition and another shot.
For her win, King received a free 12-month subscription to ABC Magazine, while the winning photo is live as ABC’s Facebook page cover for all of October.
If you want to be like King and have your best photo shown off courtesy of Best Bus, brought to you by VDI Australia, then don’t forget to send through your photos for November and the rest of 2024 via our website or by keeping an eye on our Facebook page for more details.
