12.01.2022 To our valued and loyal customers and followers. Covid 19 is still taking an incredible.toll on the long distance tour and charter bus companies. Near or Far Bus and Coach will see this through.... Many of our competitors and other operators will not. They stand to lose everything due to no fault of their own. Make no mistake, this has hurt us but we will be there at the end. On Monday 26 October 20 we are meeting with Senators and MP's in Canberra to get assistance for our industry. We thank Susan Templeman MP for assisting us. Our industry is still like it was in March. Yes there is a glimmer of hope, but for next year now. Nothing is guaranteed. To expect any business to go for nearly 12 months without income is extraordinary at best, and that seems to be the expectation. It is unthinkable. Yes there have been some incentives and jobkeeper. Running a fleet of coaches on jobkeeper money is not realistic or achievable, especially when government expects their registration and other fees. Right now, many bus and coach companies are being forced to sell vehicles to survive. Vehicles are currently not selling or being sold at well under value for obvious reasons. The industry is headed toward being run only by multinational and overseas owned entities supported by state and federal governments. Family owned bus companies are on the brink of collapse and this will create dire consequences for staff, employment and the traveling public as available fleet and driving staff are diminishing. Many operators are supporting our action and many have thought we were silly and joked about this. I am thankful for our staff, customers and my family and I need to stand up for all of this. We stand tall, unashamedly to protect what we have worked so hard for and has been taken through no fault of our own. We can't wait to see you all soon All of our coaches now have new seating and have been spray painted outside too and are looking great

10.01.2022 We would like the team at busnews.com.au - Australasian Bus and Coach. Their team has been magnificent in supporting Australian Family owned operators in our search for government acknowledgement of the very specific effects COVID has had on us all. Thankyou for taking the time to meet us and find out who we are. https://www.busnews.com.au//wherever-you-are-near-or-far-b

10.01.2022 Today was a day of hope for our industry. We sincerely thank Susan Templman MP #susantempleman for listening to us today. Her representation in Parliament today was exactly how we feel and how our industry is. Justine and I would like to thank Susan for her strong voice for our community at this distressing time. Like most of the industry we do not have school runs and other government contracts. We are here for our community, commuity groups, schools and clubs.... Sadly, many of these family bus companies may not be with us for much longer and there will be adverse consequences for communities, employees and operators alike.

08.01.2022 To all of our valued customers, our family and our friends. Wishing you all the very best for Christmas and for 2021. We look forward to seeing you all in 2021. Take care, stay safe and see you soon.

05.01.2022 We would really like to thank Susan Templeman for taking time out of her busy schedule to chat to us today. She delivered a true recount of our conversations and has helped us to feel our industry has a voice. # Susan Templeman

05.01.2022 It feels so good to be out and travelling with our community. Schools are travelling to camps and it is great to see kids out and about. We are grateful for our customers who have returned after such a long, hard and quiet spell. Thanks everyone, still tough times but is nice to be out working and certainly gives us something to work toward.

03.01.2022 THANKYOU J and R for your wonderful feedback. It means a lot to us. We will pass this on to the drivers who did a fantastic job. Dear Rod and team, What a wedding! Two weeks ago, I never thought I would get married in a natural disaster but I guess sometimes life gives you lemons and sometimes it gives you record-breaking rainfall on your wedding day.... We don't know how to begin with thanking you Rod. Since we first came into contact, you have been simply exceptional with making various trips down the valley to check out different routes. And when the wet weather came, you personally accompanied the shuttles down yourself - thank you so much for the level of attention and care you provided to my guests. Thank you for getting them safely down natural disaster-level rainfall and terrible roads. We are also so grateful for you and the team for helping out our guests and vendors whose vehicles became bogged in the mud. All of you were so kind and so selfless. We also heard how you got each guests back to their own accommodation that night - this leaves us speechless and in awe at how amazing you and your team are. In some of the ceremony photos, you can see the shuttle bus there and we are so happy that it is in the picture as we would like to show our future children what amazing people were there to help us during our wedding day. We have transferred additional to your account as a token of our appreciation. Thank you for essentially saving our wedding (and guests!).
