History.
Notable
- ◆ The Beatles
- ◆ Sir Robert Menzies
- ◆ Marlene Dietrich
First registered 11 November 1960 to entertainment promoter John G.H. Carroll. The list of passengers reads like a who’s who of the 20th century: The Beatles, Sammy Davis Jr., Marlene Dietrich, Danny Kaye, and Australian Prime Ministers Sir Robert Menzies and Harold Holt.
OQT spent decades in the hands of promoters and entertainers, ferrying some of the most famous names of the era to and from Melbourne venues. Its history is arguably unmatched in the fleet for sheer cultural significance.
