Warning: This post is about to make you feel very old.

Think for a moment where you watched the opening ceremony of the Sydney Olympics.

Well, one of the busses from those games is now on display at the Sydney Bus Museum.

But wait, why is a bus from the Sydney Olympics doing in a transport museum?

Well, because the 2000 Olympics were held almost a quarter of a century ago.

I did warn you this post would make you feel old.

I didn't know the bus museum had left Tempe.

@maniacalmanicmania @ajsadauskas@pixelfed.social It's currently in Leichhardt North, at the back of the Transit Systems bus depot, and a short walk from the light rail.

Of course, the best way to get there is on one of the historic busses that departs from QVB.

I'll aim to post some more interesting photos from there over the coming days.
