Back in 1997 the Greyhound route from Perth to Darwin went via South Hedland where the coach arrived in the morning having travelled overnight from Perth. The coach only ran on three or four days a week in the winter and now does not run at all. |

After several days, near the end of the route from Perth to Darwin the coach rendezvous with another Landseer up from Tennants Creek where it links with services east from Townsville and south from Alice. The BP Roadhouse is located at Katherine in the Northern Territory. |
