the inland story
Since 1985, Inland Petroleum, an independent, locally owned, and operated fuel and lubricant supplier, has had a devoted presence in Central Western NSW, demonstrating stability and reliability in the industry.
The Principal and Owner, Paul McCallum, is passionate about fuel and has a long history of providing fuel and lubricant solutions across Western NSW. Paul's first job was as a weekend bowser boy; he was 15 years old, and fuel was 18 cents a litre. Paul loved the fuel game and spent 20 years working for multiple major fuel companies. In 1986 Paul was a key figure in establishing 'Fosters Petroleum' in Narromine. He purchased his first petrol station in West Dubbo in 1991, and soon after, Paul acquired Maher's Petroleum Depot in Gunnedah. In 2002 Paul brought the two companies under one banner, and Inland Petroleum was formed.
Inland Petroleum continued to grow, and in 2010, Paul was approached by Shell to purchase their depot at 109 Erskine Street, Dubbo. Shell had a depot without a business, and Paul had a business without a depot. Paul secured the site, and the company continued to flourish.
The company's head office is based at the Dubbo Depot, overseeing four depot facilities and thirteen retail sites. These depots and sites are strategically situated across Western and North Western New South Wales. Our depots are located in Dubbo, Gilgandra, Gunnedah, and Condobolin, and our retail sites are in South Dubbo, West Dubbo, Narromine, Trangie, Cobar, Coonamble, Walgett, Gulargambone, and Barraba. With a commitment to expansion, Inland Petroleum is always on the lookout for its next growth opportunity, ensuring a promising future and potential growth for our customers.
Paul has always been passionate about his fleet of 30 Kenworth Trucks and trailers. These trailers have configurations ranging from 19 meters to AB and BA Triple Trailers. One of Paul's most significant achievements was successfully designing, approving, and building AB and BA Triple trailer configurations to allow us to operate more efficiently. These trucks are beautiful pieces of equipment and have been fitted with the latest technology by Dubbo-based businesses. They are maintained to a very high standard.
Inland Petroleum, in it for the long haul, takes pride in being local, independent, and always competitive in price, ensuring our customers get the best value for their money. As Paul McCallum says, "We have a tremendous future in Western and North Western NSW.".
