Big blocks of ice harvested in the winter were covered with sawdust and stored in the Ice House in the middle of school ground in Carragana. Ice lasted till the next winter, the ice was used in ice boxes to store food or to make ice cream. It was cool in there on a hot day and smelled like wood, electric or gas fridge’s put an end to ice houses.
We had one of these ice cream maker, my favourite flavour and it still is, maple walnut.
It was a lot of work turning especially just
before it was done.
