History

The business was founded in 1914 by Archie Palmer with a horse-drawn coach to transport passengers and groceries, newspapers and mail. Bags were carried on the roof of the coach and a return trip would cost 2 shillings. A Model-T Ford was the first motorised bus to be acquired and was followed by a Chevrolet in 1948. The bus service ran twice daily in each direction between Yarramalong and Wyong but services were sometimes cancelled because of flooding in the Yarramalong Valley.[1]

A coach operation was established and operated under the Palmer Leisure Tours name. This was sold in January 2003 to Road Runner Tours.[2][3] In January 2008 the remaining school services were sold to Busways.[4][5]
