25.01.2022 Day one of the 2018 BSC Band Tour over and done with. Day two started. We are at the Adventure park at Geelong today. Kids are having a ball. We have an easy day today. We dont preform today at all. So no setup or pack up. Robyn is organizing a lovely Roast dinner for us tonight back at our accommodation. The kids are loving our new Irizar thanks. I think the usb ports and free wifi is a big winner lol. We will keep you all posted on our tour in the next few days

24.01.2022 On the outskirts of a small town, there was a big, old pecan tree just inside the cemetery fence. One day, two boys filled up a bucketful of nuts and sat down b...y the tree, out of sight, and began dividing the nuts. "One for you, one for me, one for you, one for me," said one boy. Several dropped and rolled down toward the fence. Another boy came riding along the road on his bicycle. As he passed, he thought he heard voices from inside the cemetery. He slowed down to investigate. Sure enough, he heard, "One for you, one for me, one for you, one for me ...." He just knew what it was. He jumped back on his bike and rode off. Just around the bend he met an old man with a cane, hobbling along. "Come here quick," said the boy, "you won't believe what I heard! Satan and the Lord are down at the cemetery dividing up the souls!" The man said, "Beat it kid, can't you see it's hard for me to walk." When the boy insisted though, the man hobbled slowly to the cemetery. Standing by the fence they heard, "One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me." The old man whispered, "Boy, you've been tellin' me the truth. Let's see if we can see the Lord...?" Shaking with fear, they peered through the fence, yet were still unable to see anything. The old man and the boy gripped the wrought iron bars of the fence tighter and tighter as they tried to get a glimpse of the Lord. At last they heard, "One for you, one for me. That's all. Now let's go get those nuts by the fence and we'll be done...." They say the old man had the lead for a good half-mile before the kid on the bike passed him.

21.01.2022 Hi to our Facebook followers. We are on a three day tour through N.S.W for Land Care. We have got farmers on from all over Gippsland. We have definitely run the new Irizar in. Lots of gravel roads, cattle grids and tight gateways.

21.01.2022 A special thank you to Jason, from Gillicks Buslines for his amazing generosity in providing a bus for family & friends to travel from Bairnsdale to Ensay to farewell Mum, Bernadette Carroll. Many thanks from all of Bernadettes family.

20.01.2022 Lets get behind our metropolitan operators and STOP the government taking over their contracts and services. These operators have worked hard through three and four generations to create wonderfully ran businesses that are efficient and to a very high standard. If the government get their hands on them, they will be destroyed and so will the families that have worked very hard to get where the are today.

20.01.2022 Hello to our Facebook followers. We have just finished a week shut down on the Ballarat line for v/line. It was a very successful shut. Id like to thank Bryce Michael and Ray for there amazing efforts over the shut.

18.01.2022 Hello Facebook followers. Gillicks Out & About Tours would like to announce the arrival of our second brand new Irizar 57-seat, wheelchair-equipped coach. This coach will be operating on our Paynesville to Bairnsdale school service. All the team at Gillicks Buslines would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a happy and safe New Year. Let's hope 2021 will be a much more successful year than 2020. Jason Gillick.

17.01.2022 Hello to all our Facebook followers. 2018 has been a year of a lot of changes. Starting from the beginning of 2018 Ian and Glenda (first generation) decided it was time for them to kick up the heels and get some well earned use out of their new caravan. So after an awesome happy retirement send off and them driving off into the sunset, I thought well its all up to me and my fantastic team to keep the wheels turning for the great business. I guess its just in the blood lin...es lol. Id like to send a very special thank you to my operations Manager Col Cathcart that keeps the cogs turning. Gillicks buslines started business in Bairnsdale in 1986 with a school bus run that went to Lindnow South. Back in those days my mother Margaret drove the school bus for a few years. After a marriage separation my father Ian Gillick drove the school bus. Then Ian met Glenda. After a few years the business started to grow. Ian was doing the hard yards out on the Hwy with Glenda doing the hard yards in the office. As we grew it got harder and harder. But Ian was trying to drive four buses at the same time because he was very conservative with paying wages. At that stage the business was in one of those difficult spots. As they kept working through the tough times, eventually things got easier and we started hiring more staff. In 2007 I started working with Ian (dad) and Glenda. We have worked hard to get the business to where it is today. It has been great to be a part of this empire. Today we are celebrating the launch of our very first brand new Coach that has everything you could want in it. It is a Irizar Scania. We hope you all like. Jason and the team at Gillicks buslines Bairnsdale.

08.01.2022 Hello to our Facebook followers. We hope all are well. Its been a challenging year to say the least. So I would like to take a moment to update you all on what has happened over 2020. Something on a more positive note. Towards the end of 2020 we purchased another school bus and contract that runs out of Paynesville and east Bairnsdale. We purchased it from Jan Morris ( Hacks ). Prior to that Jarrod Stewarts. Also we have upgraded two buses. We replaced them with two new S...cania Irizars. Fleet #'s 26 and 27, which brings us upto our third Scania Irizars including # 22. A big thank you goes out to Brad and the team at Irizar, also Dean Cash and the crew at Scania for their awesome service over the years. I'd like to put a shout out to my sign writer Ange Batista from Image Works Sign's who has worked all weekend to have the coach ready for my tour tomorrow. Top job mate !! Also Friday I picked up my old Denning Landseer from Melbourne that has been getting a full restoration done. She is looking a treat. I will be posting some pictures of her soon. Myself, Honey and the team at Gillicks Buslines would like to wish you all the best for 2021. Keep safe and covid-free. Jason Gillick.

05.01.2022 Hi folks. Today is a very sad day in the bus industry. A very popular icon in the industry has past on and had his funeral today. I was lucky enough to be able to login and watch it this afternoon. Mr. Doug Kefford (Kefford Group) being one of the pillars of our very special industry would have been very proud of his amazing familys beautiful words. The whole service was beautiful. Bram Kefford did an amazing job with his words for his father. I had my headlights on in re...spect to Doug around my school bus run today and also managed to get the whole Bairnsdale bus network to do the same. This man had done so much over the years for not only our industry but for everything he has been involved in. We at Gillicks Buslines management and staff send our condolences to the Kefford Family. R.I.P Doug. Im sure youre in a beautiful spot.
