Recognise anybody?
Upstairs in a double decker bus going off to dinner one Easter. The bus driver was the designated driver.
What year? Who are they all?

John, that's back in the distant past, I recall (only just!) that was on board the double decker bus from Mildura to Wentworth, we were off to the Servicemans Club, it would have been quicker to walk. PeterG
Bob Hampton writes:- It's got me stumped when and where that was! But that's me giving the fingers to the photographer (still got that leather coat too), can't miss Pete Garvin behind me, and George DiPalma disappearing to the left of the photo. Fairly sure the lovely face peering down the aisle near the back is Ric Kemp's ex-wife Lyn (?).
Great to see Bob still is interested, I bet he's had a different VB or 2 in his right hand since, I'm not sure if that was Lyn at the back of the bus, JL is at the very front, Monica Stratton next to George, is that Ken Stratton back to camera with the dapper orange leather jacket? in conversation with Tony Opie, Leah Low in the middle, and could that be Amanda Marion above my head and Royce with his face obscured. As for the rest, 30 years is a long time, lost too many grey-cells, John can you name the rest? PeterG
Yep,I reckon that's the Swan Hill Easter run, circa 1977 or 1978? (I remember, 'cos I rolled up to Easter in my bronze, Repco F5000-powered GTR XU1!)... If that is the Easter in question, then I was on that noisy old slug of a bus, hanging out of the door at the bottom, as I recall ... tempted to jump off for a quick comfort stop!!! Great memories of the Swan Hill Easter Run!! Peter T

That's Leah "peering down the aisle" though.

I can see the lace trim at the bottom of Rosemary Warren's skirt and that may well be husband Garry facing the other way talking to Tony and Susie.
