Think there’s only things to do in the Dandenong’s when the sun is up? Think again!
After you’ve made your way through the Dandenong Ranges, why not make your final destination a relaxing one?
Finish off your day trip with a picnic and a movie at Belgrave Cameo’s unique outdoor cinema where the shadows of tree-jumping possums might distract you from the film every now and then.
At the foot of the Dandenong Ranges lies the thriving, funky town of Belgrave and in it, the Cameo Cinema which boasts the only outdoor cinema to show the latest movie releases.
Going to an outdoor movie is the perfect way to escape the scorching heat of summer, and at Cameo Cinemas their outdoor films only start once the sun goes down.
With a beautiful surrounding of trees, you’ll have to keep an eye out for neighbouring possums out for a free feed during the movie.
As you’re relaxing in the cool night air, you will receive perfect cinematic sounds with your individual Dolby digital headset, and you can even recline in deck chairs as you watch the latest films on the 14 metre screen.
The outdoor cinema opens an hour before every film screening, giving movie-goers enough time to take in the breathtaking surroundings and grab treats like sweets from the Sassafras Sweet Co and hand-made choc tops.
This summer, take the chance to nestle down in deckchairs and beanbags, with craft beer, homemade choc-tops and freshly popped popcorn in hand.
