Whitsunday Transit Fantasea MAN coach
Another impressive livery is the Fantasea theme on this MAN coach. The Fantasea trip, like the "Yellow Submarine" on the previous page, takes visitors out to the reef - though this trip is by high speed catamaran to the outer reaches of the reef. There you can enjoy snorkelling or diving from a moored pontoon. Once again Whitsunday Transit provides the connecting transportation to Shute Harbour, where the coach is seen.

Whitsunday Transit Mercedes O305G 293ENL
Not quite in the same league as the Fantasea coach, this articulated Mercedes O305G in the fleet, 293ENL, has a livery adorned with multi coloured, but individually represented inhabitants of the nearby aquatic life. The vehicle's main role is to provide the early morning school run from Shute through to Proserpine - here seen in Airlie Beach - and the afternoon return trip. The bus is believed to be ex-ACTION in Canberra.

Whitsunday Transit Mercedes O305 PMC
In some ways partnering the artic, this all white Mercedes O305/PMC Mk I appeared to be confined to school's work unlike its liveried companion, 7. It is also ex State Transit, Sydney.

Whitsunday Transit Hino RG197K 786EXN
Whitsunday Transit appears to have been formed by an amalgamation of two operators: Sampsons and Crossleys. This Hino RG197/Custom Coaches is clearly from the Crossleys camp. Crossleys's was also a Sydney bus operator and 786EXN was sent to Sydney to help with transport for the Sydney 2000 Olympics - a fair way to travel. The Hino is obviously referred to by staff locally as 786 from its destination display. The bus is seen doing its share of the work on the main Cannonvale - Shute Harbour service. Reference to the timetable showed that certain journeys were advertised as being worked by the easy access Bustech Mercs back in 1989 when this picture was taken.
