Murrays leads the way

Since 1966 Murrays Coaches has grown into one of the country's largest coach companies with a world-wide reputation for excellence. We are privileged to be the appointed transport provider for many of Australia's leading organisations.

Innovation is at the heart of our business. Originally a travel agent, Ron Murray diversified through the 80's and 90's with a variety of tourism business including: day tour operations, a pub, sheep stations, cruise companies as well as buses and coaches. This period also saw rapid growth for our business with expansions from Canberra into Sydney, Gold Coast, Cairns and Melbourne. Often, on invitation from existing customers.

Proudly, in 2005 Ron Murray was recognised for his services to the tourism and transport industry by being awarded an Order of Australia.

Today we operate significant business in Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, Gold Coast, Brisbane, Toowoomba and Chinchilla. We employ more than 400 staff and our pristine white coaches have become synonymous with quality.
