Armed with a brand new Canon 450D DLSR Myself and Renault Rider decided to get together and enjoy a day snapping away at some buses. Today we were situated soley within the Woden Valley region, around the Town Centre, and the Hospital. It seemed to be an all Renault Affair (So if you don't like them, turn away now) with not as many of the Scania's and Irisbuses seen. We did venture away from the Woden Valley region for one trip north to see the new Belconnen Interchange colours, and to meet up with two ACTION drivers. One in Tuggeranong, and one for a trip out to Civic.

'Interchange Blitz' at Belconnen Interchange
Belconnen Interchange has certainly been brightened up, alot. With the new Green and Orange scheme, they are also now playing mood music in the interchange, ranging from your 1920's old duffa music through Jazz, Blues, 50's, 60's, and 70's. With this they now also play announcements, such as 'On weekends, your bus service will start with 900. For more information pick up your Weekend Busbook from your local interchange or Government Shopfront' or along the likes of that. At ACTION We're going your way'.

Belconnen Interchanges new look. Green and Orange, looks as though they went down to the local Renovators Discount Depot and picked up some true bargains....
