Figured I would have this list on the forum as well. Here's the current ACT BUS list of ACTION's All-Over Advertising (AOA) Buses. I'm hoping that with the new members that are joining up, they may be able to assist us by adding to the list.
I've bolded the buses we do not have a photograph of - if anyone has one of these, please post or email it to website@actbus.net
If you can add to this list, please do. We know it isn't complete!

does anyone have a picture of one of the marconi buses
i dont have a decent photo of it on an ACTION bus, but here it is on an STA.
It's identical to the AOA that was on 760, 775 and 873
Note: Attachments are Removed once they are 60 days old due to Automatic Maintenance.
are you sure that is identical. i'm sure i can remember a navy blue bus with marconi but i could be wrong
positive - the AOA was navy blue, but faded to more of a royal blue.
we have extremely blurry pics of some of either 760, 873 and whatever the other one was
873, complete with a finger in the way. terrible shot.
Was there any other blue AOAs around the time that I may be getting mixed up with.
tooheys was a navycolour too..
I must be just thinking of an AOA that never existed
Can anyone tell me what the last painted AOA was and what the first wrap was?
first wrap I believe was either Tooheys, Marconi or Yellow Pages (853)
last paint job i think was 872's ACTION AOA. They changed over to wraps around 2000 i think.
Does anyone happen to recall an AOA for the Aquarium, or similar?
I've now bolded the buses in the first post that we have no photo for - if anyone has a pic of any of these, please let us know.
I remember all of those except Hyperdome and the Lifesaving one, but unfortunately we never got pics of the others.
I tink I have seen pics of the 751 and 760 AOAs I will have a look for them.
that'd be great!
Have added a new entry to the list - 263 (Westfield)
