Watch your step, about to spew forth is our 18th pile of random bus shots for your viewing displeasure.
As always, there is no particular theme, just a heap more bus shots that I had to put somewhere.
For the most part they are all Aussie buses, with one Manila exception. If you have some sort of desire to see buses in the Philippines, and shortly Fiji, then feel free to dawdle on over to our more relevant blog.
As with all the other dreary installments, photos are a mix of old and reasonably new.
You're welcome.

Crowthers TV-5145 near Shep's Mound at Sydney Airport.

Sort of sad to see the name change. Crowthers was a name my late grandparents regular mentioned in talks of their travels.

Nova 056.
Appears to now be a fallen flag which is not surprising given the attitudes of many drivers.
Even by local standards, these drivers were cowboys.
