Eggins Confort Coaches began in 1929 when Harold Eggins began the business of transporting people. Harold bought his first bus and began his first twice daily service driving passengers and school children between Taree and Wingham.

The trip using a slow gas producing engined bus took 35 minutes over gravel roads. Shortly after Harold Eggins started business it began to boom and after 5 years he bought a second bus and began employing other drivers.

The Eggins bus company was well used during the period when well attended dances were held up to four nights a week in all the outlying areas in the Manning district. Trips were made between Taree, Pld Bar, Wingham, Jones Island and "Sidebottom" Kooranghat.

On Sundays , the Eggins buses were a familiar sight at Old Bar, carrying surf club members and family parties in the days when cars were scarce. The business never looked back from its humble beginnings and within 10 years Harold Eggins owned a fleet of 4 buses.

Harold Eggins housed his first bus at his home in Albert Street Taree, opposite the Butterworth Car Park. Later he shifted the business across the road adjacent to the car park in 1936.

Dallas Eggins was introduced into the family business at age 15, when he was forced to leave school and help his father during the war years. Later on Dallas' son Lachie was brought in to the business and so began a third generation in the Eggins family business.
