If you’ve wandered along the Esplanade in Torquay and found yourself drawn to the scent of sugar and waffle cones, chances are you’ve discovered Planet 72. This Hervey Bay institution has been scooping the goods for over 20 years, offering a rotating lineup of 72 ice cream and gelato flavours that swing from old-school classics to downright wildcards.
You’ll find childhood throwbacks like Fairy Floss and Birthday Cake, right alongside bolder choices like Black Sesame, Burnt Fig Honeycomb and Chai Tea. Some fan favs includes the Snickers, Peanut Butter Cookie or Dough Rum & Raisin.
They also stock local jerky and sweet treats, so even the non-ice-cream people (they exist) can get in on the fun. It’s casual, local and one of those spots that always hits the mark after a day at the beach.
