This bus was owned by a man named Jones who was based in Pinjarra. He used it as a school bus ferrying children to school from as far away as Mandurah. Before this bus he had a small rounded Bedford bus. Perhaps this day the bus was at Fairbridge bringing a visiting sports team. (Info from John Barns). (Courtesy Gladys Mares).
