Dural operates scheduled bus services in
Sydney, Australia, located at Dural, in the
heart of the Hills District in Sydney's
North West. Although Dural and its nearby
villages of Galston, Kenthurst and Glenorie
are still semi-rural farming communities,

the regions character.
Hillsbus Dural is a part of the

go back to the early 1900's when the village
of Glenorie was a staging post for horse
drawn wagons hauling produce between
Wisemans Ferry and Castle Hill. Motorised

War.
In the early
1920's, George Deaman expanded the bus fleet

George Tucknott & Roy Baxter purchased the
Company from the Deaman family in 1952. By
1975 when they sold to the Todd family, the
fleet comprised of 16 vehicles.
