If Ford Oz had the chance, Im sure theyd make a ripper wagon for the private individual, but they simply cant afford to make a 'Sportwagon'. They couldnt raise the capital needed and if they had access to the cash, the project wouldnt pay for itself. This is why we didnt get an FG Fairlane either.

I think the AU Fairmont Ghia wagon in black with opt. XR 17s was quite a nice looking sports/luxury wagon, as was the series 2 SR wagon, but BA and beyond Ford accepted (some would say pushed) the wagon's fate in mainstream Aussie motoring. The Territory was a much smarter investment.

The EB1 was the last model to have a Fairmont Ghia wagon. You could get an AU Fairmont wagon though.
