808 on Madigan St, Hackett - 21 December.
Looks like we could have a 'withdrawal theme' emerging with this, my first stab at POTM. Buses 839 and 840 captured plate-less and side-by-side whilst awaiting disposal at Belconnen Depot late in 2011.

Here we have Bus 967 climbing up Partridge Street onto Bugden Avenue with the driver checking out that maroon car that is borderline illegally park.

You never know when you're going to come across an ex ACTION O305!! This one is seen in Batemans Bay...ex 640 I believe.

It was close, but 743's photo of 804 made it across the line by one vote.
Thanks everyone :)
