A party bus works best when the group wants the trip to be as much fun as wherever it's heading. The Chalkboard Bus, based at Farmborough Heights, runs three buses across the Illawarra for birthdays, hens and bucks nights, Christmas parties and wedding guest runs.
The name comes from the walls. Inside, they're chalkboard, so guests can write messages, draw and leave notes for the birthday person or the couple during the trip. Every bus has a sound system, party lighting and a dance floor, and there's a dance pole on board too. Drinks are BYO, with eskies supplied, and phone chargers mean nobody's photos stop halfway through the night.
Sizes vary across the fleet. One bus takes 44 seated and 25 standing, and the 49-seater adds a laser show, so groups of different sizes can be matched to the right vehicle. Hire starts from $1,350.
When you book, have these details ready:
Buses run to Northern Wollongong, the city, Dapto, Shellharbour and down to Kiama and Gerringong. For a smaller group, limousines may suit better, and the hens party page has more ideas for the night.

The largest bus takes 44 seated and 25 standing, and there's also a 49-seater, so the fleet covers small and large groups.
