Fond memories of nights at the Drivein in the eighies & early nineties in a procession of cars;

I once went to see a Herbie movie in a white Beetle...

I'm torn due to boycotting Festival Cairns since they changed the name from Fun In The Sun due to stupid political correctness...

I was a regular for many years every tuesday night even seeing the same movies againtowards the end when they stopped caring.
