Description

DescriptionDecorated for Christmas, with a Santa Claus riding a penny fathering bike on top of the awning, the service station was built in 1953 by Ernie Eland. The petrol came from C.O.R. (Commonwealth Oil Refineries). Eland named the station ‘Gliderway’ and placed a glider on display that had been obtained from two pieces at a Mt. Gravatt junk yard. Eland leased the station to various families from 1960 and sold the freehold to BP Australia Ltd in 1979. References (offline)The Advertiser, 15 December 1982
