Noticed your local servo lately?
As the first service stations in Australia appeared, early in the twentieth century, the face of the local servo became as varied as the towns in which they were found. From iconic art-deco buildings and grand Spanish-style architecture to weatherboard country shacks, petrol stations were often multi-branded and sported an array of different signage and stylistic features.
Away from the motorways and supermarket chains, many of these old servos still exist. Author Jim Sonter turned a 1982 holiday snap of an old garage into an obsession and now has over 1000 pictures of servosspanning several decades.
Many of them are in this book.
What you will notice is that no two servos are alike.
