Yeap I lived in Dee Why from 1969 till 1989 I remember these shops

[@sampointau]

That Dutch shop was still there, underneath the old Waltons store from memory in the 90's Great range of Dutch licorice and other Dutch goodies.

[@Angel-nr8td]

Walton's has been knocked down

Aimed at the 10 pound Pom scheme where they still had rationing.

[@KnowledgeVariable]

I wonder if they had the same amount of brothels back than
