Austrips ... Proudly Tasmanian since 1976

We are Fiona Archer and Melanie Bond, the proud owners of Austrips.

Austrips is a 100% family owned Tasmanian business that specialises in organising tours for the group market. Our business, based on the North West coast of Tasmania, has been operating continuously since 1976, and is now one of the major coach tour wholesalers in Australia.

We purchased Austrips from Anthony and Susan Spinks in October 2023. Susan and Anthony have a long family history in the Tasmanian coach industry. Anthony's father and grandfather have operated coaches since the 1930's.
