Outdoor movie night - ‘UP’ on a big screen at Rochford, Yarra Valley
Date: Friday 12 March 2010.
Time: Gates open 7pm. Movie starts at dusk
From the creators of Finding Nemo & Monsters Inc comes this pixar animated movie that draws
together the most unlikely duo on an Uplifting adventure of a lifetime. Carl, a retired balloon
salesman and Russell an enthusiastic Wilderness Explorer meet some wonderful characters on an adventure that helps protect a rare 13 foot tall flightless bird.
Just like Carl and Russell in Up, the Friends of the Helmeted Honeyeater believe that individuals can make a difference to the plight of our state emblem, the beautiful but endangered Helmeted Honeyeater, along with the myriad of plants and animals that co-exist with it.
Come along & enjoy Up under the stars of the Yarra Valley.
