@Iris – You actually sound a bit homesick – for Australia! Get back down here, girlfriend!!
@NixBlog – I was a Broome virgin until this year! Now I’ve become a Broome s – well, you get the picture!!
@Audrey – They ARE great in the summer! Somehow, I can’t see it working with rain, cold and wind …
@Liz – There’s a scenic public toilet for everything! Stick around – you’ll see what I mean!!

Awesome post! What a creative way to introduce a small town theatre!

That’s a fun twist on a cinema. They should bring a few of those to North America. They’d be great in the summer. 😉

Have not got to Broome yet, but I’m working on it! Looks like there is plenty to see.

Awww,it´s such a dang long (and for a short holiday horribly expensive) journey….
But if we make it back… we have a Pizza in there, visit the markets, watch the stairway to the moon and sleep way outside to watch the beautiful, clear sky and see the southern cross again!
We´re really living in a “light-polluted” area, having a clear sky to see stars means it´s more than cold, brrr…
Oh, and visit the dinosaur footstep,see the mangroves, have a walk at cable beach, visit the museum – AND! Habe a Chicken Hawaii at Chicken Treat, oh, how I miss Chicken Treat! We have nothing like that over here! Don´t forget Jerky and Pies.
Germany. Culinarian desert.

@PDP – Lord Howe takes some beating, doesn’t it?! This one’s more of a quirky scene than a spectacular one!! Let me know how the outdoor movie works for you!!
@Carole M – It’s actually brick paving! It didn’t come out so well in the photo – I blame the camera …
@SFlaGuy – Hahaha! Couldn’t you just take separate flights??!! Woudl it be too smug to say I hope your outdoor experience with your Dad is as good as mine was?!?!
@Iris Flavia – So glad I could bring back memories for you! We would have LOVED to go to the cinema again, but ran out of time!! And yes, you can still have food there as far as I know!! Hope you get to come back real soon!!!

Amongst other we saw “Forrest Gump” there – the “kitschy” movie-sky went directly into the “Outback”-sky like butter (as we say).
We also saw “Life Is Beautiful” there – in the original language!
After just a few minutes we had the feeling we just watch a movie, not hear Italian, read English!
The only time we were “caught” being German was when the German officer said real bad stuff which was translated to, “you get no Gummy bears”, where we had to laugh ironically…

Thanks for the memories of Sun Pictures and Broome – are you still allowed to have food in there? I missed out on having a Pizza there! Gotta come back some day!
So many memories…. Broome is beautiful.

Now this is what I call the ultimate in conveniences. Other people – less fortunate ones than the patrons of this cinema – have some comics or magazines in the loo. But having films on tap, I ask you!! How about a season ticket?

The only place I know of in Florida with a quaint little outdoor screen is Fort Wilderness at Disney Orlando. A giant gas fire pit and free marshmallows are a nice touch but this is the real thing. I only mention it as I’m taking Dad there for his 80th birthday. I would so much rather take him to this little gem of a theater but that much quality family time in the plane may make me open the door half way over and jump out. I’ll just add it to my solo tour wish list of the fantastic places you have posted this year.
