10 Thompson Rd, Williamstown, where Blue Heelers starring Martin Sacks and Lisa McCune was filmed, went under the hammer on Saturday.


A Melbourne house where one of Australia’s most beloved police dramas was filmed remains on the market following an auction on Saturday.

But one of the day’s success stories unfolded in the city’s northern suburbs, where a Pakistani national from Saudi Arabia triumphed over seven other bidders to snap up a house just three days after flying in to inspect the home.

According to PropTrack, Victoria recorded a preliminary 67 per cent clearance rate from 619 early auction results on the weekend.

The five-bedroom home at 10 Thompson St, Williamstown, that served as the fictional Mt Thomas Police Station in Blue Heelers, which ran for 13 seasons on channel seven, ended up passing in after going under the hammer with a $2.85m-$3.1m asking range.

Jellis Craig’s Anthony Christakakis said he remained in post-auction discussions with a couple of buyers.

If the Federation-built home remains on the market following the talks, it will be listed for private sale with a $2.995m price tag.

66 William St, Fawkner, was bought by an international buyer.


The vendors’ parents did some of the work on the house themselves, including tiling.


And Ray White Coburg’s Hamza Ali said that the three-bedroom house at 66 William St, Fawkner, that sold to an international-based buyer changed hands for $1.002m.

“Three days ago, he flew in, looked at the home, had a building inspection done and he bought it today,” Mr Ali said.

The new owner, who initially spotted the residence online, is planning to use the abode as an investment before possibly moving in with his family.

“The vendors, whose parents built the house 17 years ago, were selling to help their own children buy their first home,” Mr Ali said.

He added that it was rare for overseas buyers to purchase in the area, with this latest bidder being only the second that he has met within three years.

115 Gold St, Brunswick, also went under the hammer on Saturday.

Also in the northern suburbs, a two-bedroom house at 115 Gold St, Brunswick, sold for $1.305m, an impressive $205,000 above its $1m-$1.1m asking range.

Matthews Agency chief executive John Matthews said the former miner’s cottage, renovated in a project by designed by EM Architects’ Emma Mitchell, had won over the 200 groups who looked through prior to the auction.

“It was a boomer result,” Mr Matthews said.

PropTrack is expecting 1280 auctions across Victoria next week.
