Well, this is the first time in decades I've been to the drive-in, and it was immense fun.

Well, this is the first time in decades I've been to the drive-in, and it was immense fun.

The movie, Pirates: Band of Misfits was a very fitting beginning to what I hope is a continued visit to this venue. We were joined by Steveg, Maureen, ariaflame, possbert and my mum who drove rdmasters and myself to the Galaxy Drive In.

The event was only slightly marred by Mum's radiator blowing up when we reached the theatre.

But for the rest of it, the smell of hamburgers and chiko rolls, and hot chips, the surprisingly crowded drive in and the flitting of us and others from one car to the other amidst the smell of coffee and chocolate and gingerbread was a lot of fun.

Even more fun than I remember it from the 60's, 70's and 80's! So we will go again.

Thank you Poss for your pink bucket, and thank you Steveg and Maureen for trailing us safely home, and thank you Elaine for your kind offer of an additional escort.

We're so glad you all came, and not just because of your pink bucket and escort services.

What a lot of fun!

I recommend the venue - the cafe is useless for coeliacs, but the coffee is probably fine, at least. But the screen and parking is fine and it's a really nice experience if you haven't been to the drives lately or at all. Particularly recommend it for people with kids too, judging by the amount of advertising for real estate before the movie the pressure on them to just sell up must be immense.

Every child should have an opportunity to go to the drive ins. There were heaps of kids there tonight and they were all very well behaved and if they were noisy I simply didn't notice.

Hope to see you all at the drives! I'll be monitoring what movies are coming up, and if any of them take my fancy I shall post my intent of going and maybe garner some company.
