| Largest lollypop in the outback |
|
The world’s biggest freestanding lollypop has been unveiled in Ravensthorpe in Western Australia’s Golden Outback, about 530 kilometres south east of Perth, and a two-hour drive west of Esperance.
Standing 7.4 metres tall and 4 metres wide at the Yummylicious Candy Shack, the idea of the giant lollypop was developed two years ago after the local nickel mine was closed for the second time. The launch of the world’s biggest lollypop, coinciding with Yummylicious Candy Shack’s third anniversary, and was celebrated with a free community festival that saw hundreds of people enjoy cupcakes, balloons, sumo wrestling, jumping castle and a free lollypop for every child.
More about Yummylicious Candy Shack on Facebook here. ~~ The brightly-coloured candy fits right in as Ravensthorpe is known for colour, most famously for hosting the world’s biggest wildflower festival every September featuring up to 700 different species of wildflowers on display. About 20 per cent of Western Australia’s floral species can be found in the world class Fitzgerald River National Park and the unique Ravensthorpe Range, including some that are, as yet, undocumented.
