The Open Air Cinema is in town, playing a festival of films on a giant screen erected in front of a viewing area built on the hillside of the botanical gardens.
A massive 350 square meter screen built in the water shows normal box-office movies with postcard views of Sydney Harbour in the background. The show tickets for last Friday had been sold out for weeks, but a few are released on the night of the show. A couple of us went down early, braving the crowds to get some of the last few tickets available. We saw Life As We Know It with the sounds of the waves in the background and the beetles chirping away in the trees.
On Sunday it was finally clear skies for Jeroen's scenic flight around Sydney. We were picked up and taken to the Bankstown airport to take a trip around the Sydney area, the coast and the Blue Mountains. After some safety instructions we boarded 10-person airplane and took off. We were able to see stunning views of Sydney during sundown, the Three Sisters mountain range from above and some rainbows after encountering some rain. Everything takes on a different perspective from the air and you see how big Sydney actually is. Here are a few pictures from the flight.
