Matchbox Toy Garage – An Old Iconic Australian Service Station – Golden Fleece..


I’ve forgotten how many of these I’ve made and given away, but this one is for the Local Community Clubs Christmas Raffle, my wife asked me if I could make one and I chose the theme of an old iconic Australian Service Station Roadhouse.


I found all the images on the internet, scaled and printed them to detail the garage.

The paint colours were an issue but one of the local paint & decorator shops matched sample pots of the blue & yellow livery of the Golden Fleece perfectly.


I’ve had a bit of fun with the Springwood sign post as Springwood never had a Golden Fleece Service Station neither was it the last service station for the next 750 miles as you entered the Outback.


Along with that I had to add a few icon Australian brands; Peter’s & Arnott’s.
And some special brands to me; Peterbilt, Ford, Goodyear.

Should be a top Christmas Present for some family along with a good Fund raiser for the club.

Cheers, crowie
