Member Helen Barry recalls buying ice creams from a small shop in Crichton Ave, and apparently Woodruffs had a milkbar on Bridge St. People have mentioned that good ice creams and milk shakes were to be had from the dairy in Graham St.

It would be great to hear members' ice cream memories. Leave comments below or email pmhps@hotmail.com
I remember an ice cream van that used to park in front of the BP site between the piers. I think it is different to the one in Alison Kelly's photo but I do remember they made their own vanilla ice cream and is was delicious.
ReplyDeleteMy memories of the Port Melbourne beachfront in the 1960's are not of ice cream van but of a large grey bus that dispensed hot donuts filled with even hotter jam and rolled in sugar. 2 shillings would buy a bag of a dozen. Bliss on a cold wintery day!
ReplyDeleteMakes me feel hungry! Pretty sure we have a photo of that large grey bus! I'll look for it and post it so keep an eye out.
