A
The smallcoastal town of Broome, in northwest Australia, is a remote village in the vastcountryside.
Thereare no traffic jams and hardly any roads. There is only the massive Australianwild land, where some houses are 500 miles apart and some driveways are 50miles long.
Thereseem to be only two main sources of entertainment out here: the sunset at thebeach and Sun Pictures.
SunPictures is a very different movie theater：The seats are park benches and deck chairs, but you’re also welcometo sit on the grass.
Itis the world’s oldest outdoor movie garden. Sun Pictures was built in 1916 onthe other side of the globe from Hollywood. All the big films were shipped hereand the lonely country was amazed.
Broomeresident Pearl Hamaguchi has never traveled far from home. But in the SunPictures chairs, under the deep blue night sky, she has been almost everywhere.
“Andwe came back excited about Gregory Peck,” she recalled.
Thisis one of the few places left in the world where you can see two sets of starsat the same time-----one set in the sky, the other in the film.
Eachnight, dozens of people from around the world line up at the old wooden stand,with no computer in sight, and buy their tickets to the latest films.
SunPictures is also a museum, exhibiting projectors(放映机) that date back to the silent films, a portrait gallery of thefamous people who never knew about this place---- even though they came hereall the time.
Everyonce in a while, I’m told, you might find a non-ticket holder in your seat.That’s why it’s always a good idea to shake out your chair to make sure thereare no spiders or scorpions.
“We’veonly had a couple of scorpion incidents but no one’s been stung yet,” saidAaron Mestemaker, a tourist visiting from Michigan.
SunPictures is a holy hall of movie history and a reminder that air conditioningand carpet are no match for grass and fresh air---even when the lizards stealthe scene.

A.living in Broome is inconvenient B. the life in Broome is boring
C.few people like to live in Broome D. Broome is simple but vast
