Mt Gravatt have a new Volvo B7R Coach Concepts C65F due very soon along with a 2005 MAN C57F ex Mackay region. This could mean the end of Emma the Leyland Leopard Austral.

Hi Leon,

the MAN is a 18.280 with Northcoast Protege bodywork ex (3) 350 ISI at Herbert River Express in Ingham, QLD. Can you get me the fleet name when it arrives?

Cheers,
Nick

This was seen regd 981 IXO in a yard in Cawarra Road, Caringbah this morning. It has been there at least since last Monday when I drove past but did not get a chance to identify it.

During August it was seen parked in a residential driveway on King Georges Road in Penshurst. Most likely another motorhome conversion.

I had a closer look at it today - it still carries full Mount Gravatt signage on both sides.

It's actually been sold for a mobile computer repair business.
