Mike, it is still there. Now painted Mission Brown. A Ford F60L,it belongs to the father-in-law of a mate of mine. Originally it was constructed to carry people to the Victorian snow fields at Mt. Hotham. Not as the Omeo to Bairnsdale bus. The last time I looked at it, it still had the Ford drivers book on the dashboard. My mate keeps saying that we should bring it here and get stuck into it. (I keep putting him off.)
The first photo in this thread looks to me like the bus is based on an MW Bedford.
Regards Rick.
