How It Happened
The building was raised in 1971 as a roadside servo, just in time for the Oil Wars and the collapse of civilisation. For a while it became Fat Nancy’s, a greasy diner known for the burgers and the bar fights, frequented by biker gangs and renegade lawmen alike.
Then came the bombs. The land turned to desert, and stayed that way for decades – until the rains. Great floods swept through Central Victoria and turned the region into a tropical paradise overnight, washing boats up onto the property. Animals never before seen in these parts stepped out of the new jungle. Many of them can still be found inside Eddy’s Garage today.
The Skipper and his First Mate, after decades eking out an existence in the chaos, stumbled across the abandoned servo and decided it would do. They forged an outpost of hamburgers, cocktails and questionable decisions – fuel for the survivors rebuilding the New Australia, one cheeseburger at a time.
That story may or may not be true. Below is a photo of how the servo looked as we found it.
Everything since we have built ourselves by hand, what you see today is only the beginning!
