Mount Vic Flicks - Mount Victoria
A family owned, independent single screen cinema, acknowledged by many as a fine example of what country hall pictures used to be. Situated in the Mount Victoria Public Hall (built in 1934), the cinema was re-established in 1987. Screenings Thursday to Sunday and daily during school and public holidays. A wonderful olde time 1940s atmosphere. One of eight significant cinemas listed on the Australian cinema map.
