Do You Remember?

Remember, "Streets" Have a Heart. Then there was one that was vanilla with choc coating and had two sticks. What was it called ?

I love Streets. The company was formed in the Wollongong suburb of Corrimal where I grew up. There was a twin stick one as you mentioned. I remember one called "Splits" but I can't recall if it was that one or an ice block version.

Steets Two in One. My sister and I always got these as you could split it into two ice-creams, less cost and less mess in the back seat.

We'll done. It's all coming back now.

Coca Cola and Fanta yo yo's. The ones to get were the red Coca Cola and the black Coca Cola super yo yo...... Walk the dog, rock the cradle, rocket ship, dog bite, around the world ......

I have a NOS Red '70's Coca Cola Championship Yo-Yo. I always dreamt of getting a Black Super Championship version the cost was out of my reach in the 70's.

..... We could choose between Chanel 2 (abc), Chanel 0, Chanel 7 and Chanel 9. Unless you were in the country and only had 2 chanels.

In the 'gong we could get our local stations and the Sydney stations if you had the right aerial and were lucky enough to live in the right pocket that received good airwaves. Of course the local channel was WIN4 which today is the largest television network in Australia. WIN = Wollongong Illawarra Network.

..... I also collected Scanlens footy cards and Bobby Fulton was my favourite player for the Sea Eagles.

Before Bobby Fulton signed with the Sea Eagles he was playing the Illawarra competition were he grew up. Quite a player. My first collection of footy cards was the 1974 set (which I still have). I have since collected the 1968 sets 1969 and 1970 (though I yet to complete the 1970 set). No Scanlens cards 1971-73.

"Two In One" was actually a Peter's Ice Cream brand I believe. It was common for Streets and Peters to produce similar Ice Creams. I remember there being the Streets Heart and the Peters Heart, Cornetto vs Drumstick etc.

WIN = Wollongong Illawarra Network.

WIN = Wollongong Illawarra NSW (not network). The call-sign for all TV stations in NSW had 'N' as the last letter, all stations in Victoria had V, Q for Qld, S for SA, W for WA, & so on.

Very true, my mistake. I picked it up from the bombarding WIN Network television ads.

Again of no real consequence but I got to reading.

The Beginning

Television Wollongong Transmission Limited (TWT), was incorporated on 4 October 1955 by a group of local businessmen. Five years later, it was awarded a licence by the Postmaster-General's Department broadcast to the Illawarra and South Coast regions, over a number of other groups aligned to Sydney-based stations ATN-7 and TCN-9.[3] The new station was to broadcast on the VHF-4 frequency, using the callsign WIN (which stood for Wollongong (and the) Illawarra Network or alternatively Wollongong Illawarra New (South Wales), in line with other Australian callsigns). Soon after, a plot of land was purchased at Fort Drummond, approximately two kilometres south of the Wollongong central business district, for the station's television studios.

Saying the WIN Network would be like saying PIN number. Wollongong Illawarra Network Network or Personal Identifying Number Number.

ATM Machine anyone ?

Just Saying.

I spend 6 months working in the PMG radio branch (as part of my tech training) where all this stuff is licensed, they are so damn pedantic.

Again, Wikipedia is full of errors, it is at best a guide, not to be relied upon.
