Mossgreen's recent decorative arts auction included a wooden sign from the gate of the late Malcolm Fraser's Victorian country property, Nareen.

The piece of memorabilia which also came with a black top hat that once belonged to the former prime minister, fetched $1,464, well above the $200 estimate.

They'd been picked up at a Nareen garage sale in the 1990s.

The western Victorian wool and beef property, Nareen had Merino sheep and Simmental cattle.
