Description

For forty years, Alex Deak, the beloved “Mr. Whippy” of Mount Gambier, has turned his pink and white ice cream van into a summer staple — serving up joy one cone at a time since 1986. From his childhood fascination with ice cream men in Hungary to his midlife discovery of his true calling, Alex’s passion has defined his life and touched generations. His son Byron laughs at the nickname, but locals and customers alike — from kids in the ‘80s to their grandchildren today — honor his dedication. At 86, Alex still plans to keep going until 90, crediting his van’s suspension with “angel’s wings” and his job with keeping him sharp and smiling. While Guinness recognizes a 67-year ice cream career, Alex’s four-decade van route may be Australia’s own record — a sweet, enduring legacy of community, joy, and the simple magic of ice cream.

episode WA’s New Gas Plant Sparks Energy Debate | Adelaide News artwork

WA’s New Gas Plant Sparks Energy Debate | Adelaide News

Western Australia’s government is eyeing a $500 million gas-fired power plant in Perth to replace aging coal infrastructure, aiming to shut down all state-owned coal stations by 2030 — but critics question if this move, while framed as a clean transition, actually increases gas reliance. The project, still in early planning and set for public consultation this week, faces skepticism from the opposition who argue 300MW may not be enough to cover coal retirements — especially since some Pinjar units won’t shut down until the mid-2030s. With renewables touted as the long-term solution, the state’s energy transition hangs in the balance as officials race to finalize a decision by year’s end.

Pirelli’s First All-Indian Calendar | Adelaide News

The Pirelli calendar makes history with its first all-Indian edition, shot entirely in India and celebrating the country’s vibrant culture through gold-draped models, bustling flower markets, and soulful sitar melodies. This bold move reflects growing global recognition of South Asian talent and craftsmanship, following years of criticism over diversity and objectification. Rising star Bhavitha Mandava, raised in Hyderabad, joins the lineup while reminding the world that beauty isn’t a monolith — it’s layered, complex, and deeply personal. The project also honors legacy, as one photographer’s daughter steps in after his passing to capture India’s multifaceted spirit. It’s more than a fashion calendar — it’s a global spotlight on India’s rich, diverse, and undeniable beauty. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

South Beach: Adelaide’s New Coastal Gem | Adelaide News

Adelaide’s newest coastal suburb, South Beach, is officially born — rising on the historic Port Stanvac site with 3,600 homes, 60 hectares of business space, and a vibrant town center. This $1 billion-plus project will create 1,700 jobs, house 8,000 residents, and reopen 1.7km of pristine beachfront after 20 years of industrial silence. With 15% affordable housing, a 70km coastal trail, and top-tier transport links, construction kicks off in 2028 — with residents moving in as early as 2029. It’s not just a suburb — it’s a coastal rebirth. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
