BROOME, WA Australia - SEP 21 2019: Visitors at Sun Pictures Cinema, world's longest-running outdoor cinema, built in 1913, screening new releases in a charming setting.; Shutterstock ID 1510757747; your: Bridget Brown; gl: 65050; netsuite: Online Editorial; full: POI Image Update

Sink back in a canvas deck chair under the stars in the world's oldest operating picture gardens, dating from 1916. The history of the Sun building is the history of Broome itself; having witnessed war, floods, low-flying aircraft (it's still on the airport flight path) and racial segregation. A short 15-minute history tour runs on request during the Dry (ring first).
