Thread: Bollards and Betoota

Found this on another forum, written by the Bollards land owner ...

"The bus was taken away because of the rubbish collecting around it,&also as it is a stock watering point we try to discourage people from camping there.Hemma maps have it down as a camp site without any authority from the land owner.as this is a designated watering point under the pastoral board act no camping allowed within one KM.The history of the bus, it was towed there in 1972 with a grader by George Rieck to be used as a camp for pumping water & stockmen.Originally the bus was electric trolly bus either from Sydney or Adelaide. The bus used to be owned by GEO surveys REG Sprigg & used in the early years in the search for oil &Gas in the Cooper basin.Over the years it has slowly deteriorated with more travelers on the road every year. Hope this gives a bit about the bus Bollards lagoon past co. As for it been driven there you would need Avery long exstention cord."
