Moonlight Cinema

An open air cinema on the lawns of the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne. Relax with a picnic as the sun sets and the screen lights up. Gates open at 7pm and screenings start at sundown, approximately 8.30 pm. The majority of films shown are commercial and popular American movies so they should have a wide appeal. You can purchase tickets at the Moonlight Cinema box office from 7pm Tuesday to Sunday. The box office is located near the entry to the cinema. We advise that for very popular sessions there may be only a limited availability. Online bookings are available at www.moonlight.com.au.
Tonight's movie is The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the
Ring (M) |

in.cube8r gallery
|
|
in.cube8r gallery is a shop/gallery which runs like a long term market. It is open to anyone who makes things by hand and supports all things craft, art and hand-made in Melbourne. The gallery is divided up into glass cubicles, shelves, racks and partitions which artists can lease for a small weekly cost over a three month period. There is no commission on items sold. When Whitehat visited in June2008 we discovered a treasure trove of new upcoming artisans as well as designers like Julie Ughetti, with an international reputation. The work ranges from the quirky to sophisticated and given the diversity of art work on display you appear to be guaranteed to find eclectic original pieces. |

TOURISM NEWS
Qantas In Flight Magazine chooses
White Hat
Cemetery Tour as its featured Australian tour for May
There are many fine historical tours
throughout Australia including cemetery tours. From these, the
prestigious Qantas In Flight Magazine has chosen the White Hat Tour
of Melbourne Cemetery as its featured Australian tour for the May
2007 edition. This tour was also featured by ABC radio on 24 May and
will feature in a documentary series on Burke and Wills to be shown
on European television in 2008. The tour has been operating for many years and has won
praise from a wide range of sources. This is not a dry and stuffy
tour but in keeping with all White Hat offerings it is Informed,
Intelligent, Independent (and occasionally) Irreverent. You can find
details of the tour at White
Hat Tour of Melbourne Cemetery and view the article at
Qantas In Flight Magazine. |
