Re: Your dream bus/buses
Here are my favourite Australian built coaches:
Volgren 12.2M,
Volgren Twin Deck,
Scania 3 axle/Custom Coach Mk90.
Austral Tourmaster.
MCI-MC-8.
As for buses I'd say an ex TAA bus.Freighter bodied Ford.1970s vintage.As is they were decent.Ideal for engine swaps and carrying a small car.The double rear doors make them ideal for loading a small car.Good vehicles for motorhome conversions.Spacious interiors.Ford engines (300 C.I.) were nice and quiet.Even thought the Ansair built equivalents were just as good I still preferred the Adelaide built buses.

Re: Your dream bus/buses
This would be too good to be true, but given I've relied on my recordings to iron out differences with ex O'bahn O305+G buses, my pick would actually be the following:
A Voith 4 speed SL202 which has 432's mechanical issues that caused it to be excessively loud even at 60kph, with 428's engine.
1624's current diff ratio.
1638's feature that enables it to sound very distinctive when getting up to 60kph the proper way.
1640's CNG issues that were present in mid to late 2015,
A worn diff like 859
A loud retarder like 878 has,
899's loud axles. It would date from mid 1996, and would still operate on the O'bahn today.
It would have the exact same body as the hills B58s, in the brown bomber livery, It would be numbered 1320 (to potentially become 420 with Serco).
