I'm a Cronulla boy through and through :)
I don't know how old you are Peter but do you remember Flashs' in that lane way opposite Cronulla Railway Station? That place was pretty big on the latest pins during the early 80's too. Man I can't believe you never knew about the pavillion - it was the place to be - in my mind I can still hear Gary Newman's "Cars" or Blondie's "Heart Of Glass" blasting on the Juke Box at that place while we were hitting the pins!!
