Attention!  Under the heading "About CTIG"

By 1981Penelope Nichol

1st person in Victoria to use a minibus as a commercial passenger vehicle
1st person to introduce cultural tours to Victoria and Tasmania - if not Australia.

The Transport Regulation Board refused to reissue Ms Nichol her license and the licensed itinerary was up for grabs. 

And who got her intellectual property for free and without recognition of the original source?
