Blanch's IBC Mk III Caterpillar Nambucca
This strange looking machine is believed to be an IBC Mk III Caterpillar with Nambucca bus body dating from 1978, 12 (MO8698). It may have been rebuilt at the front at some stage. It is seen in the Ballina yard in August 2004. The bus has since been sold.

Blanch's Nissan RB30 PMC
The seemingly comventional PMC body masks this bus' Nissan RB30 chassis. In its previous existence the bus was registered ex MO0879 with Sampson of Nowra. Seen in August 2004, 25 (MO1451) is yet another bus to leave the fleet and was reported with Jeff Nance, Annangrove in September 2005 and with Affordable Mini Bus Rentals a month later.

Blanch's Bedford YLQ Custom 11
This gem of a Bedford, 11 (MO8659), a YLQ2 with coachwork by Custom, also failed to make it another year in the fleet being sold in May 2005 for use as a motor home in Melbourne.

Blanch's Ford R226 Watt Bros 3
Whether this Ford R series still survives in the fleet is unknown. With the assistance of our source of helpful information, the Bus Australia website we believe it is 3 (MO4241), the Watt Bros bodied Ford R226 ex Farrell's Bus Service in Ballina. It was deregistered for preservation in 1997 and transferred to National Transport Museum in Inverell on the 10th of July, 2014.
