Transporting Melbourne and other bits
New driving force behind Melbourne's buses
When Harry Cornwall's boss refused to send buses down the 'dirt tracks' in Melbourne's south-east in 1924, the Gembrook-born war veteran and bus driver started a company of his own. Eighty years later, his one-coach business is Melbourne's largest bus operator.
