Ah, the old hand rotary beater, a true staple of every Australian kitchen. Mums use it to make homemade cream, and the kids would take turns beating it. It may have been hard work, but the delicious treat we were rewarded with made it all worth it, especially when served with the homemade preserved peaches. Do you still have one of these?

Yes still have a hand beater, still use it now and then.
 
Yes I do. A former workmate asked me what I wanted as an engagement present and I told her one of these - that was over 50 years ago and it’s still going strong today and used regularly 😄 Mine has a yellow wooden handle.

I still have one which is about 40 years old and still works. In fact it is easier to take this one out, use and clean it rather than the electric one.

Still have mine
 
I have one too and still use it sometimes especially when beating egg whites to form soft peaks. So quick and easy.
 
Yes, I still use it to whip eggs or cream quickly. Wash straight away and it cleans quickly and easily. I use the electric mixer for heavier stuff like cakes.

My mother gave me one ( not new ) when I left home 50 years ago and I still use it
 
Have only just retired mine. After 50 years of use my arthritic hands were objecting so use the stick blender for whipping cream. Can remember us all lining up to help mum with the trusty hand beater & if you were the lucky last getting to lick the beaters.
