    Drive-In Movies are a thing of the past now where I live.

    We had one left in this area, it made it until last year when they
    decided to shut down. Pretty sure developers bought the land.

    Used to be 3 here, 1 rather remote for me, on the other side of town, one down the coast a ways but doable for an evenings entertainment. And the closest that was he go to if we were going to do a thing.

    The closest and fave closed down after COVID. A confluence of the council either put the rates up or changed the zoning to amount to the same. And they'd had regulars prior to COVID, and afterwards a lot didn't come back.

    Bit sad really,

    Double-edged sword here in Brissie. Solid UTC+10 year-round (that's

    You guys still flooded or dehydrating now?

    good!), but out of sync with Sydney and Melbourne in summer. (that's bad)

    You'll fit in with any Dairy farmer I've met. The cows don't care what the clock says they keep coming in for Milking at the same time.

    We're back on +10 o'course for now...

    Makes sense, it was the farmers that killed any chance of us getting DST in QLD. Technology still kind of makes it moot, but it always used to piss me off when the schedule on Pay TV was all an hour out, during summer holidays when I was watching it the most hahaha!
