Yes, we defrost ours slowly in the microwave and it beats as good as new

Yes I do - but have been told on here last week that the cream can also "separate" and not whip. Hasn't done that for me yet - but there you are.

It must be australian cream then because it turns to butter still in its packet when you deforost it. Dairy products in Auz are not as nice as NZ. Cheese are though.

It might be the difference between raw cream and pasteurised.I've had no problems with it separating either and my cream is raw, straight from the cow.Freeze it, thaw on bench and beat it.In winter I make butter with frozen cream.

Yep - slow thaw in the fridge - never hasten anything in life - it won't work :)

I took some frozen cream out of the freezer yesterday. It did seem to have a different texture with separate bits of something distinct from the moer liquid part. Anyway I whipped it and it was fine. It behaved like unfrozen cream eventually. I think it did take a little longer to form the desired consistency.
