ST GEORGE OPENAIR CINEMA

Sydney Harbour

It’s not hard to see why St George OpenAir is self proclaimed as, “the world’s most beautiful cinema”. As night falls, a giant screen is hydraulically raised from Sydney Harbour to stand three storeys high before a 2,000 seat grandstand. Leave the picnic blanket at home for this one; a ticket gets you a seat and access to a huge array of top notch food on site.
