During the devastating 1980s floods across Dubbo and other parts of NSW, Mobil donated funds and provided fuel to rescue vehicles to assist with relief work.
To celebrate Mobil Oil Australia Pty Limited's 120 year anniversary, the company is reaching out to the Dubbo community to find more moments linking the company to Dubbo.
The pieces of history will be used to form a book which will be given to libraries and schools for educational use.
Until Wednesday, August 19, members of the public are invited to send in and share anecdotes, articles and imagery that can help provide different perspectives on how Mobil's support of transportation, mining, agriculture, manufacturing, marketing and engineering has helped to fuel a nation.
Submissions that make it in the book will receive $100 fuel cards.
"Submissions could be anything from capturing the colour of a local sponsorship or worthy community project in their township, a historic photo of a family member who worked at one of our refineries, or even the development of a community as its manufacturing capabilities grew," Mobil's Australian retail sales manager Kim MacMillan said.
To upload a photo or story, simply upload an electronic JPEG file via https://a.pgtb.me/KWP2sT or post a photo or story with your name and contact details before August 19, to Fleur Williamson, PR Edge, Level 9, 650 Chapel Street, South Yarra, Melbourne 3121.
