GEELONG  13-3-1987

Geelong, to the south-west of Melbourne, has long been an important railway locale. It is situated on the mainline from Melbourne (from which it has regular commuter services) to Warrnambool,  and is the junction for the standard gauge line to Adelaide and cross country line to Ballarat.

Thats about all you are going to get. It is late and sleep is calling.

Current status has come from Wikipedia. Updates are welcome.

MELBOURNE BUSES 1987

Way, WAY, back in 1987 (that was the old days kiddies), I ventured on down to the tiny hamlet that is Melbourne in search of local trams and trains to aim one's camera lens at.
Over the two weeks that followed, a friend toured me from one end of suburbia to the other, along with a couple of brief adventures to more regional locales.
While partaking in the earlier mentioned train/tram picture taking, the occasional bus would get in the way and have it's image captured as well.
Given the immense interest in old buses that seems to exist nowadays, I have collected them all here for you to enjoy, dislike, or show complete disinterest.
 All were taken in my earlier years of photography and on an old aim and shoot camera. So don't be expecting photographic masterpieces, as you will likely be substantially disappointed by it all.

If you are able to add anything, please fell free to comment below. Always looking for further details to complement these old shots.

God Is Love apparently
Unsure of the history of this bus, nor where the 'Jesus Special' was headed too.

 'Moonee Valley Bus Lines' Bedford SB5 with a Domino body.
Believed to be one of only two.

V/Line bus at Spencer Street station.

Was later sold to VBus of Altona, but has been onsold again and
situation is unknown.

Bedford VAM70 with Athol Hedges body, new in 1972.

Thanks to: Jason Blackman, Alan Greenhill, Hayden Ramsdale.
