This pic has been sent to me by Tram467 to post here.
Fleet number can just be seen on the roofline at the rear and the date is correct.

Re: sydney merc 2929

2929 is at Esk or nearby.
It is being converted into a motorhome, the roof is being raised.
I have seen a recent photo of it, I don't have it so cannot post it.
