This is a difficult question to answer because the Australian vernacular has changed considerably in my lifetime.

When I was a nipper [child] the pictures [movies] were known as flicks and the picture theatre was commonly known as the flea pit - or if it was an outdoor theatre (called a picture garden) the passion pit. Kids up to about 15 or 16 years old went to special Saturday afternoon showings at the flea pit and so if you were asking a friend if he or she was going to be there you's day: "I'm going to the flicks at the flea pit on Saturday arvo. You up for it?"
