Esky Portable Cooler​

Who remembers packing up the old metal Esky for a family picnic or a day at the beach? Filled with clinking bottles and a big block of ice, it was the heart of every Aussie summer adventure. Long before modern plastic coolers, these trusty blue boxes kept the lemonade cold and the sausages fresh. Did your family have one of these on holiday trips? Share your memories with us here.

My Mum & Dad had one for years which was green in colour and quite difficult to open. It worked very well though!
