About this time each year we hear that the soft-serve icecream van is almost a thing of the past.
Not at Clifton Gardens in Sydney. Our kids had their fair share of melt-on-your-hands icecream in between jumping off the pier and games of cricket on the grass during our five-hour stay here today. A proper Aussie picnic.

Clifton Gardens is such a great spot for picnics.
We have a soft serve van that parks in the park near Wentworth Falls. Never ever eat icecream from the creepy man who owns it!
Cat photo is a true classic.
They are quite rare - you have to know where to find them. But I am a mean mother and [almost] never buy from vans.
It should be noted that I did not partake in a cone of hydrolised pig fat, frozen bat gizzards or whatever they make soft serve out of. And the guy serving wore a white singlet, was a little sweaty and had a beer gut.
Noice.
As I said, classic Aussie picnic.
Who doesn't love the icecream man, the pied piper of childhood?
Ours had a little speaker that played the most horrid little tinkly song.... yet we all ran after it with our coins, salivating over the ice cream. Now ice cream men just seem creepy. Then, all I noticed was the ice cream!
Did it play Greensleeves?
Seriously, how could you pass on a cone full of hyrolised pig fat?
The van did not play Greensleeves. I'm sure the playing of naff tinkly music would contravene at least three Mosman Council by-laws.
