"Scarlet Rose" (1954) is a sleek & sultry beauty, a fully renovated Clipper coach complete with onboard ensuite toilet, mini bar fridge and sink, air conditioning and blue tooth stereo system. With glorious scarlet and cream paint work, shining chrome, leather banquettes seating (including booths with tables) she seats up to 18 people (12-15 very comfortably) and "wows" everyone you sees her.

"Yooralla" (1947) is a genuine piece of Australian history. This is the original coach that was imported directly from USA in 1947 by Pioneer Tours (Ansett). Its arrival in Australia represented a new age in coach travel - it was as if a space ship had landed! Yooralla was the prototype for Clippers built in Melbourne that were used Australia-wide as touring and express coaches during the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. Take a trip down memory lane and create great new memories!

Yoralla boasts beautifully maintained original fittings throughout with coach style reclining seating 2 seats either side of aisle (maximum 29 passengers). 

*Both these vehicles are available for weddings, birthdays, events, corporate functions or "just because" - make any day special and memorable!

 

The Wineries - 

Dryridge Estate Cellar Door was opened in 2012 and it boasts spectacular views; the Narrow Neck escarpment looms up from the valley floor and in the afternoon the sandstone cliffs are transformed by beautiful bright orange and yellow colours as the sun drops lower over the Great Dividing Range to the west.
