This is the former Ampol, 'South Bankstown'.
I'm not sure about this one - I think it may be what is now the fruit and veg store on Chapel Rd, opposite Bankstown Oval.

Sure was. Back then we use to ask if they wanted their tyres checked, oil and water. And even use to fit wiper blades as well for them.

Here's another Ampol station from the old days. This photo is labelled 'Ampol Lakemba'.
I don't know where this one was. Is this Canterbury Rd? If so, facing towards, or away from, the city?
