Open Air Cinema at Alice Springs YHA
Alice was hot and sunny, as per usual, so did two loads of washing and hung them out to dry. Then had to face cleaning the hire car. Most car washes in Oz seem separate from petrol stations, but had managed to spot one the other day. Car spic and span, that only left the sunscreen handprints. Bought some fabric cleaner, which seemed to do the trick.
By the time I had done all that, returned the car, and had lunch, it was already well into the afternoon, the rest of which I gave myself off from being a traveller.
The YHA hostel in Cairns used to be an open air cinema (i.e. the seats were outside, though it was not a drive in cinema, one of which I did see in another place I now can’t remember). The building itself was scheduled for demolition, but a campaign started to save it for historical reasons, and then the YHA bought it. It still has seating and projection facilities for an open air cinema, and that night we watched The Fifth Element.
