Memorabilia - Souvenir Schooner Glass Mylon Centenary, C. 1906

Historical information

In 1906 Patrick Mylon started a passenger transport service in the Albury-Wodonga border area with horses and cabs. His son Jack went into business in the late 1920s, and his grandson Bernie joined the firm early in 1970.
When Patrick started with the horses and cabs, each cab carried eight passengers and he always had two horses per cab. As the business expanded, Mylons used a range of buses and coaches including Reo, Chev and Bedford vehicles.
During more than 100 years of service to the Wodonga region and beyond, Mylon Motorways received many awards for Excellence and tourism.
On July 2, 2008 the company, including its 31 buses and 45 staff members were transferred to the Dyson Group.

Significance

Mylon were formed in 1906 providing transport service between Wodonga and Albury via horse-drawn cabs. This expanded to a modern fleet of more than 31 buses offering a range of regular bus routes and tours throughout the area and beyond. They were recognised for outstanding service and awards of excellence in the transport industry and tourism.
