Erina Fair

Erina Fair opened in 1987. As I recall, it attracted some attention at the time as an early example of the mega suburban shopping malls that increasingly replaced traditional town centres. According to Wikipedia, Erina Fair is the largest single level shopping centre in the southern hemisphere and the largest shopping centre on the Central Coast and in regional Australia. ‘51,000 shoppers attended the opening and took advantage of opening specials. A sale at Best & Less of 1c pantyhose saw stock exhausted in 30 minutes and Angus & Coote jewellers sold 10 $400 rings for $10 each within minutes’.
 
Erina Fair is loud, and it bombards you with a confusion of visual and auditory signals. It's convenient, but it's not subtle.
