He converted his truck into a makeshift bus and began ferrying commuters from the tram-starved suburb of Northcote to the tram and train terminus at Clifton Hill. In 97, some 90 years ago, ill decided the time was right to buy his first real bus. From these humble beginnings the business grew, and ill looked beyond commuter bus routes towards charter services, becoming McGeary s Parlor Coaches. Recognising Australia s increasing enthusiasm for domestic tourism, ill s son Geoff became involved in pioneering camping vacations to Central Australia and Queensland. y the time the 980s rolled around Geoff had branched out, touring overseas. Come 005 it was time for APT to embark on new adventures as Geoff saw an opportunity for a new style of travel river cruising in Europe. 993 The imaginative launch of a new coach sporting seatbelts. They were the safest of their kind at the time 006 An unforgettable moment for APT came in 006 when it launched its first European River Cruise ship Geoff and the APT team are continually looking to the future. The team s spirit of innovation and their love of travel are set to steer the company in exciting new directions in the future. 07 marked 90 years since ill McGeary purchased his first bus. It s been an unforgettable journey so far and we look forward to many more years of exciting adventures with you.

36 68 KIMERLEY WILDERNESS ADVENTURES KIMERLEY WILDERNESS ADVENTURES 69 KIMERLEY WILDERNESS ADVENTURES Discover Australia s final frontier. An immense yet remote region, the Kimberley spans over 40,000 square kilometres housing fewer than one person for every,000 square kilometres. With a history of pioneers, aristocrats and cattle drovers, these are the landscapes made famous by az Luhrmann s epic film Australia. When APT first began escorting travellers to the Kimberley more than 40 years ago, there was little permanent accommodation in remote areas so we created our exclusive network of wilderness lodges, with respect for local communities and the natural environment. No one is better equipped to take you here, which is why more people choose APT than any other premier escorted tour operator for the Kimberley. 4WD ADVENTURES KIMERLEY COMPLETE 5 DAYS 70 KIMERLEY, KAKADU & ARNHEM LAND EXPLORER 7 DAYS 7 KIMERLEY COAST CRUISE DAYS 74
