Melbourne's Ford Fiesta Moonlight Cinema Program
Editorial
Everybody knows that summer in Australia means being outdoors, and for people who live in the city, that means going to the Ford Fiesta Moonlight Cinema! On a hot summer night it doesn’t get any better than grabbing a picnic and watching a flick under the stars with family and friends in beautiful natural surrounds right in the heart of the city.
Melbourne's Ford Fiesta Moonlight Cinema, which will run from 17 December 09 - 14 March 2010, is located in the Royal Botanic Gardens, on Birdwood Avenue (near the intersection of Domain Road), South Yarra. Enter the cinema via Gate D and follow the path to the Central Lawn.
Gates open at 7pm and screenings start at sundown, approximately 8:30pm.
