We operate from the Pemberton Discovery Centre with a fleet of 3 vehicles - and have access to a lot more buses through our networks when required by our customers.

A heavily modified 13 passenger vehicle built by Arkana Body Builders in Bayswater.
\n
\nThey were involved with a company called Redback Safari who first initiated the 'tour' vehicle; with side door conversions - Arkana managed to work with the tour company to produce a vehicle even Toyota were able to certify as road worthy.
\n
\nThis girl is one of the last ones built (I have a photo of our youngest in a pram when we went to the factory to see them being built back in 2002).
\n
\nShe is a 2000 model originally a HZJ79 series (trayback ute) - however as it takes a year to build didn't see the road until 2001.
\n
\nArkana literally cut the whole back away - rebuilding a new chassis and 12 passenger seating capacity in the rear (total of 14 including the driver).
\n
\nThe vehicle's chassi is around 700mm longer than a traditional HZJ79 - and the total build is around 1.2m longer than a ute.
\n
\nWith Redback Safari assisting they worked out the best diff and transmission.
\n
\nShe operates now with a 2005 1HDT-FTE 6 cylinder Toyota Turbo, 80 series GXL transmission and rear & centre diff.
\n
\nAs you can tell I love this car...

\n\nThis little bus is great for our wine tours - it has heaps of personality and a pretty good sound system. We also use this as an overflow bus with our friends in town doing private transport for Weddings and parties.
