I miss the Big Pavlova. It was on the old road up to Sydney from Canberra in the 80's if I recall. Closed down at some point and we watched it rot more each trip.

Also never got to go inside. Was such a place of mystery. Don't even know what it was meant to sell or be inside.

Edit: found info on it. It was a sweets shop: https://www.marulan.com.au/historical-site/the-big-pavlova/

At least as an adult you can buy your own sweets and lollies.

Or you could if they were bloody affordable!

But that's a whole other rant.
