Australian night at the movies

Come along to Rhodes Foreshore Park on the evening of 21 January for a celebration of Australian stories.

This free, family-friendly event will feature an outdoor movie area and indoor market at The Connection. The program will feature home-grown videos and the iconic award-winning Australian film Bran Nue Dae, along with local market traders and food trucks.
