Australian Journey VIII
As mentioned in the last part of the "series" I have another memory about Sun Pictures, this time from 1995...
We started the journey in Sydney back then, in an old Holden Commodore with really worn-out, wobbly seats. You get used to that, though.
We didn´t go straight to Broome, but visited Coober Pedy, had a look at the Wolfe Creek Crater (and made longer stays in Perth and Carnarvon).
Then we found Sun Pictures in Broome (where we stayed quite a while, too). We found it near to the time we had to leave (flight back was booked in advance, due to me returning back to studying).
We streched out in those fantastic seats in the cinema and enjoyed a movie I actually didn´t like - cause I thought that sky was just a fake that hurt my eyes!
Yes, the scene that annoyed me most was when Forrest Gump came out on the verandah and looked in that superclear sky with all those stars.
Yep! Guess what?! There we sat.
In rather remote Broome, in that open-air cinema. And Forrest´s movie-sky just slipped into the night sky of WA - for real!!!
This is one great memory.
But not the one I was about to mention. I´ll come to that later :-)
And advise anybody to just do it when you somehow can afford it.
You lost your job?
See the good side - go on a journey before looking for the next one - if you have a bit of money and a car.
And are not afraid of living the simple life.
Especially in Australia, and there especially in the more remote areas you can travel safely. You can sleep in your car anywhere.
You get free showers - even inlands! And there you can be lucky and they´re even warm!
Get an Esky and buy at Coles or Woolworths. Cook yourself (and allow a Pizza from Pizza Hut from time to time).
It did cost next to nothing - my parents looked at me with wide eyes when I gave them back so much money and said, nope, didn´t need it!
And the memories fill my heart forever.
The best thing Ingo ever made me do (by not telling me of all the yucky insects)!
If only life was that good always...
