How long have you been driving the bus?
Well as I’m site manager I don’t actually drive the bus, but I’ve been on the job for a whole year now!
What do you love most about your job?
That would have to be all the smooches and massages I get along the way (perks of the job) - it’s a cats life!
Where is your favourite stop on the tour?
I’d have to agree with Mum…it’s the waterfall! I love to get down to the water’s edge and wet my toes whilst stroking the ducks. I also like leading the way back to the bus so that no one gets lost!
What do you like doing when you're not driving the bus?
Well in the summer I like wondering down to the creek with Mum, going for a quick dip then sitting on the rocks in the sun to dry off. In the winter I love curling up on Mums lap whilst she’s sitting in the sun drinking coffee and reading her book. Sneaking up and pouncing on Mum whilst she’s in the garden any time of the year is a lot of fun! It always creates a game of catch and chase. Some say I’m a bit of a pussy because I love hanging out with my Mum… Well they're right, I am, and there’s nothing wrong with that. I also like it when I get taken along to gigs, hiding in the hand bag or hanging out in the front of a jumper and having a boogie on the dance floor.
Where is the best place to explore in Byron Bay or surrounds?
The rain forest at home is the best! I get to explore as much as I want and the comfort of a feed and my warm bed is never far away.

Where is your favourite stop on the tour?
The rainforest walk to Killen Falls lookout is amazing and a great example of sub-tropical coastal rainforest!
What do you like doing when you're not driving the bus?
When I’m not driving the Happy Coach I like writing, painting and walking on the beach!
