corrimal is the birthplace of "streets ice cream" the streets ice cream company came from humble beginnings. edwin (ted) street started making ice cream in a small churn, just after the depression, to supply his milk bar. it tasted so good that other shops wanted to buy it and before long, mr. street was supplying ice cream to dozens of shops in and out of the area. he built an ice works and factory near the corner of princes highway and tarrawanna road. many locals still remember the huge neon sign, featuring a polar bear licking an ice cream outside the corrimal works (the first moving neon sign in wollongong). streets ice cream was sold to unilever australia (kraft foods)in 1960 and is still in operation making family favorites such as bubble o'bill, cornetto, magnum, golden gaytime and the ever popular paddle pop that are enjoyed all over the world.
