Outdoor Cinemas around Sydney
December 21st 2008 22:46
***Updated 23 February 2009***
Bring your picnic rugs and beach chairs to watch a movie under the stars! You might also want to bring a jacket in case the night gets cool and insect repellent to keep the mozzies away. I realise I’m a bit late in putting this together… some free events have ended and most of the tickets for the Open Air Cinema have been sold… D’oh! The following screenings take place during summer with the exception of the Drive-in theatre, which is open all year.
