FIELD GUIDE
The story
Look for the pram on the roof. That is how the business tells people to find it, and it is the whole justification for the object.
Helen's Baby Wear at 8 Caradon Way in Eaglehawk, north of Bendigo, carries a giant pram on its roofline, and a current business listing gives exactly that instruction to visitors.
A pram is a good subject for enlargement. It has a distinctive profile – the hood, the high handle, the big spoked wheels – that reads instantly in silhouette, and unlike a giant nappy or a giant bottle it is unambiguous about what is sold inside. It is also, unavoidably, slightly uncanny at scale, which is what makes people remember it.
Roof-mounted signage of this kind is the most vulnerable category in the catalogue. It belongs to a single small business, it is not owned by a council, and it survives exactly as long as that business does. Eaglehawk is a former gold town now effectively a Bendigo suburb, and a specialist baby wear shop persisting there in 2026 with a pram on the roof is a small piece of retail resilience.
Because the record pins to the verified host site rather than to the locality, anyone looking for it has an address rather than a general area – which matters when the object is on a roof in a residential-scale streetscape rather than beside a highway.
Its proportions remain blank.

ACCESS
