Noeline Pinn They showed the movies in the hall at Kotuku for some time. I remember the open fires burning while the movies were showing. The stamping of feet and yahooing when the projector broke down! Later we had to travel to Moana. Great memories!

Heather Newby Noeline Pinn it was freezing in moana in winter.. Still cold and brilliant stars.

Noeline Pinn Sure was. Mum used to warm a brick in the oven and then wrap it in wool. Was great for keeping warm.

Heather Newby Noeline Pinn i remember that too.
