25.01.2022 Turia down at Movie World over the weekend.

25.01.2022 Farewell -Jude- your last day of service with our company Friday 28th February 2020 and Marty had the privilege. Jude was dedicated to Judy Quilter, secretary at MacGregor Primary School.

25.01.2022 Some lovely feedback from Saturday Sirromet Cold Chisel Concert : Hi, could you please pass on massive thank-you to your staff on the Brisbane Ann Street CBD run. The trip both to the venue and return was well organised by all staff. Despite having to endure the terrible weather they also had to put up with drunk, aggressive and down right rude patrons and they remained unbelievably polite and professional. Please also thank the drivers for getting us home safely because it was crap conditions for them to navigate in. Kindest regards L & M

25.01.2022 Another wonderful day had by everyone at Summer Land Camel Farm.

25.01.2022 Mapleton Camp on the weekend.

25.01.2022 Starting just over a year ago, youll primarily find Sir Terrys driver David entertaining our senior charter groups on their adventures around South East Queensland. . . . Davids favourite thing about being a charter driver is how the scenery outside his office window changes each day and he constantly gets to explore new and exciting destinations. #driveroftheweek #busdriverlife #mtgravattcoachandtravel

Boyd and his A Team have the massive responsibility of organising our fleet to complete 100's of jobs for thousands of customers every week. Fair to say our OPs room is always abuzz! #mtgravattcoachandtravel

23.01.2022 Coen down at HOTA

23.01.2022 Here by special request, meet Newby! #busoftheweek #busesofinstagram #mtgravattcoachandtravel . . . We first met Newby when he was a demonstrator at the 2007 Bus and Coach Show, and Volvo was kind enough to loan him to our company. We loved him so much we later purchased him and, being the "newby" of the fleet, his name just stuck!

23.01.2022 All aboard "Cam" the Camerata bus to Toowoomba! Thank you Mt Gravatt Coaches for naming your new bus after us! Weve travelled many thousands of kilometres over... the years on "Rocky" and look forward to future trips on "Cam". #mtgravattcoaches #Cam #camerataqco #CamKingoftheDesert #whentheworldwaswide #WTWWW See more

22.01.2022 Say G’Day to Coen’s longtime driver Gary. Gary knew Coen’s namesake, Coen Ashton, after meeting him through a Cystic Fibrosis Support Group and kept in contact throughout the years. . . . He has worked with us at Mt Gravatt Coach & Travel for 7 and a half years now, and has driven school runs, charters, and even our route services. Nowadays you can find Gary on the 8003 school run to Seton College where he loves to have a chat and look after the students. Gary’s favourite work is during the school holidays, where he gets to take the Outside Hours School Care students on a fun filled day out. #driveroftheweek #busdriverlife #mtgravattcoachandtravel

22.01.2022 Introducing Muzz’s driver Rick! Rick joined our family 2.5 years ago and started off driving school runs and charters before moving to our route service team. . . .

As many people know, Oprah is a producer, publisher, book critic, actress, and international celebrity. Her dedicated Charity work, especially to African orphanages and schools was why her name was chosen to represent a Classy Lady. You can easily recognise our Classy Ladies on the road, as they are painted a lighter green than the rest of our fleet. See more

12.01.2022 Heres a blast from the past! Ian, known as Buddah to his friends, stopped by to say Gday to the team. He retired last September after 10 years with our family. . . . From the 8029 school run to school camps and charters, you could always find Buddah ready to go with a smile and the microphone.
