History

Bus Australia was formed in 1985 when Perth Volvo dealer Max Winkless linked Across Australia Coachlines with Briscoe's Coachlines and Quest Tours of Adelaide. In 1989 the east coast based Intertour business was purchased. In 1993 Bus Australia merged with Greyhound and Pioneer to form Greyhound Pioneer Australia.

Fleet

While operating the standard Austral Tourmaster and Denning Landseer coaches, in 1986 Bus Australia began importing Bova Futura coaches from the Netherlands. Fleet livery was white, red and blue.
