⭐ A Day in the Life of Volvo 98 ⭐
Hi everyone! It's me again... Volvo 98!
Yesterday was one of those days that reminded me of why I love being out on the highway!
My day started at 11am when Phil arrived at the depot. I got my morning warm-up, followed by my daily vehicle inspection (Prevention is less exciting than repairs... and that's exactly how we like it).
First stop? Picking up a wonderful group of OSHC students, who were heading to AFL Max. There was plenty of excitement on board!
Then it was time to collect a football team who were travelling to Barmera for a footy session.
Now, this is where the day became extra special...
Phil took me down to Lake Bonney, where we watched the afternoon turn into one of those beautiful Riverland sunsets that South Australia does so well!
Golden light reflected across the water, everything slowed down a little, and after a busy day, it was the perfect place to idle for a while before rolling home.
Then it was back to work. The final whistle blew, the team climbed aboard (a little more tired than when they arrived), and together we made the journey back to Adelaide.
By 11:00pm, I was back in the depot, ready for a well-earned rest.
People often see us as 'just buses' driving past on the road, but every day we're part of school excursions, sports events, family celebrations and countless memories across South Australia. Every trip has a story... and I feel pretty lucky to be part of them!
P.S. Think my sunset side is impressive? Wait until you see the rest of me... check out my tour from June. I'll try not to let the attention go to my headlights😉
