The concert that the Australian music group The Seekers played in March 1967 during the Moomba Festival estimated to have been watched by a crowd of over 200,000 people(still a Guinness World Record for the biggest number of people at a concert in Australia and the southern hemisphere too). RIP. Judith Durham(The Seekers). 🎤🎶📀💿😓

There is a 3rd screen now as well, just to the left after you go in the front doors(looks small in there?). The front of the Windsor Cinema still says it’s a twin Cinema though.
