How far is it to Spence? Just under 1300km

One of my Adelaide mates wrote to me this week:- "Saw one of your charges locally this afternoon - a strange looking bus with green colours and a sign saying 'SPENCE' rumbling along the Causeway Road near Ethelton Station....".

Ethelton Station is on the Port Adelaide and Outer Harbor line and quite close to the Custom Coaches plant. He doesn't say whether it was a Scania or a diesel MAN - fair chance it was a Scania steer tag though.
