 A 2004 visit to Surfers Paradise on the Brisbane Gold Coast found a very different Surfside fleet and certainly no sign of any Nationals, though one or two Leyland Tigers roamed free. This Mercedes-Benz OH1316 with Custom Coaches 53 seat bus body, 847 (026AQK), is part of a large collection of assorted singledeckers used primarily for school transport. It links to the National on the previous page as it was previously owned by Gold Coast Citybus. |
|
 Superior bodied 849 (029AQK) is from the same source and has an identical chassis to 847. |
|
 Different again is 850 (029AQK) with more familiar Austral bus bodywork, again on a Mercedes OH1316 chassis and previously owned by Citybus. |
|
 Yet another variation is this North Coast bodied ex Citybus OH1316, 845 (030BNL). Whereas the others date from the late eighties, 845 was new to Citybus in 1992. |
|
 The last picture in this set of ex Citybus vehicles is 843 (536CGO) a Mercedes OC1617 with Denning 'Denflex' 57 coach body. This is the oldest vehicle of the group, dating from 1986. It was new to Smekels. |
