Petrol in Blackwood?
These days residents of Blackwood have to take a short trip to either Ballan or Trentham for fuel, this however wasnt always the case. There used to be 3 places in Blackwood where you coudl purchase fuel. The first is the current location of the Blackwood Post Office, infact in the movie Dogwoman you can see video footage. It was only recntly that the tank was dug up and removed (2024). The second place was the courner of Greendale-Trentham road and Simmons Reef Road. You can see thi sin picture 2 here which was taken in 1967 by Deryk Thompson. Lastly there was also petrol avaliable as the Kiosk at the top of the Mineral springs. There must have been alot more people staying local back then or cars just used more fuel!
