Readers Respond: What was your go-to summer treat growing up?

Summer is here and we asked you what your favourite summer treat was growing up!

Some of them even go way back. Take a look at some of your favourite treats:

Nola Schmidt- Mum's homemade ice cream when we got a refrigerator. Before that chips of ice when the iceman delivered. Or icy poles from local milk bar.

Susanne Foan- Ducky doubles from the little shop at the caravan park we stayed at in Capel WA.

Robyn Harrison- Tip Top FruJu natural frozen juice on a stick.

Lynne Abbott - The ice blocks made by my Mum and my nextdoor best friend's Mum.

Mum made ice blocks with Raspberry cordial and my friend's Mum made them with chocolate milk. We ran back and forth between the houses getting cups of ice blocks from both Mums.

Linda Stone- Hawaiian Delight ice block.

Denise McGoldrick- Either homemade ice cream or watermelon (My Dad grew them to sell for extra money and he would chop up the ones he couldn't sell for us). Great days.

Tracie Lee- Raspberry Freezer.

Robyn Harrison- Coconut paddle pop, they do not make them now. We had real coconut in them.

Jill Selwood- An ice cream in a cone. Or an apple-usually Granny Smith.
