Mt Gravatt Bus Service of Burbank in Queensland has a great depot in a glade in the countryside. This Tiger was seen two years ago surrounded by lush plants. This is no ordinary Leyland Tiger and may well be unique. The bus is an 83 seat articulated model bodied in 1987 by Superior for West's National Charter Coaches of Nambour. Mount Gravatt don't use fleet numbers, but all the fleet are named. Tiger 578PXH is known as Naana, perhaps because with the exception of Leyland Leopard Emma, it is currently the oldest bus in the fleet. With State imposed vehicle age restrictions 2012 may be its final year.
