With each passing month comes yet another amazing photograph. Following last month’s stunning shot of a Ventura vehicle up in the slopes at Mount Hotham courtesy of Damian Shiambi, September’s Best Bus winner has exceeded expectations.
While the ABC inbox was full of submissions this month, with each picture catching our eyes, it was ultimately Allen Earnshaw who took home Best Bus September after he submitted an incredible photo of a Tranzit Group coach posing in front of Mt Ngauruhoe/Mt Doom.

It wasn’t an easy choice this month, with a number of photographs toughing it out for the top spot. Darryl Kirkwood sent through a bunch of stunning sunset shots of his Crown coach, each one better than the last.
James O’Riordan was a worthy finalist, sending through an awesome snap of his bus blending right in at a Massey Ferguson field week.
Tim Jones’ great submission of a Redeemer Baptist School coach at the Parkes Radio Telescope also stood out, while Steven Stavridis’ StavLink Transit coach hit the slopes up at Mount Buller.
But none of these wonderful photos could surpass Earnshaw and his shot of a Tranzit Group coach in New Zealand.
“The coach is Tranzit #1084.” Earnshaw told ABC. “It is a Kiwi Bus Builders-bodies Scania K400EB on an Intercity service between Tauranga and Wellington.”
“In this picture, the coach is stopped for a photo-op on the Desert Rd with Mt Ngauruhoe / Mt Doom in the background.”
As the winner of Best Bus September, Earnshaw has received a free 12-month subscription to ABC magazine, while the winning photo is also being shown off as ABC’s Facebook cover photo for September.
