Last month I brought you my top 10 Sydney freebies.

Here are the great bargains the paper found.

There are several outdoor movie festivals in Sydney, but my favourite has to be Movies in the Overflow.
Why does it get my vote? Well, first of all it’s really family friendly. Most film festivals show a small number of kids’ features, opting for more action flicks, horror classics, and other nasties. However, families can always […]
Journey back in time and strap yourself in for some prehistoric fun. Some cool 3D movies have hit the Imax Theatre, just in time for the school holidays. Little kids and big kids alike will love Dinosaurs 3D: Giants of Patagonia and Sea Monsters 3D: A Prehistoric Adventure.
