Highway One

Saturday 1 February 2025
The year is 1975 when 25yr old surfer and film maker Steven Otton embarked upon making his film 'Highway One'. The story is centred around a group of surfers and their girlfriends who travel 'up the coast' via the Pacific Highway (Highway One) showing the seminal surf film 'Morning of the Earth' in regional and town theatres. A visual feast and a true capture of places and times gone by showing our beloved Avalon along with Manly and areas of the northern Rivers up to Byron Bay. The soundtrack of surfing and the lifestyle includes 'Capricorn Dancer' by Richard Clapton as well as songs from Skyhooks and local 70's band The Bilgola Bop Band. February 1, 2025 is 50 years after Steve started making this now iconic film and will be the second only world premiere of 'Highway One' at Avalon Cinema after the original world premier there in 1977! Book fast for this nostalgic cinema event. 6pm movie followed by canapes at the Surf Club by Lovat on the Beach, compliments of McGrath.
