Venue Comments

"Pioneer World is a theme park, containing a street of buildings like those in a small township of the last century. On a prominent corner site within this complex is the Golden Nugget Theatre, opened officially on 10 April 1981. This is a two-storey, red brick building, with impressive copper doors, and seating 250 people.

The complex has had several owners, and been used in different ways. At one stage, in 1989, 16mm black and white films were regularly screened in the theatre: it is not clear when these screenings ceased, or who operated them. Dennis McKenna presented screenings there for some months. In 1990 Max Bell listed the venue as recently refurbished and now up for sale. In 1997 the theatre had been closed for some, and, though the park was still open, only some of the other premises were open for business." (Bertrand 2001)
