AMPOL BATLOW - Before & After
Just a brief post as I am far from motivated to really do anything at this moment in time.
I worked for AMPOL, in a servo near Sydney Airport, for numerous years. Despite those years not being the happiest moments of my existence, I did develop a long held interest in the company (especially their rail operations).
Had previously heard that this little gem still existed in Batlow, so, while in the area checking out the old railway line back in 2013, I stopped by to get a few photos.

Turns out that it was a good decision.
The recent bushfires that ravaged 'New South Wales', destroying so much bush and property, didn't spare beautiful Batlow.
The following shots, taken by Andrew Lawson (and used with permission) show the site soon after the fires ripped through the town.
I believe the servo had seen some changes following my shots above. Regardless, another link to the original AMPOL was lost.
I say original, as the name is about to make a comeback here in Australia.

Thanks to Andrew Lawson for the photos.
