🐾 A little something extra at the Drive-In this weekend! 🐾
With our dog-themed movies hitting the big screen, we’re very happy to have the Mareeba Animal Refuge joining us with some of their gorgeous rescue dogs. ❤️
They’ll also be holding a food drive, so if you’re coming along and would like to help, you can bring a little something from their wish list:
🐾 Tinned dog & puppy food
🐾 Wet cat & kitten food
🐾 Good-quality cat & kitten biscuits
🐾 Cat litter
🐾 Training treats & chews
Even a small donation helps, and everything collected will go towards caring for local dogs and cats while they wait for their new homes.
Come for the movies, meet some beautiful rescue dogs, and perhaps pop an extra tin or bag of food in the car on your way out.
Small donations really can make a big difference.

A huge thank you to everyone who came out on Sunday night to support Storm Bird and local filmmaking.
It was wonderful to see so many people come along to watch a film made right here in Far North Queensland, surrounded by some very familiar landscapes on the big screen.
The afternoon and early evening started off a little rainy, but the skies cleared and it turned into the most gorgeous night. And then, just to make it extra special, we had the beautiful Moon and Venus shining beside the big screen. Pretty magical!
A big thank you also to Andy and Helen for joining us and for a fantastic Q&A after the film. It was such a lovely way to finish the evening.
And of course, congratulations to everyone behind Storm Bird. We were so pleased to be part of its theatrical release and to share this locally made film with our community.
Thank you to everyone who travelled from near and far to join us and support local film.
