History

In 1927, Lorry McKenzie commenced operating a service in Healesville after purchasing a Packard car when on a trip to Sydney.[1] McKenzie had this car elongated and began transporting people. He then purchased some smaller buses and continued to operate his service. In September 2006, McKenzie's Tourist Services was sold to the Dineen Group.[1][2]

As at November 2022, the fleet consisted of 57 buses and coaches.[3]
