Venue Comments

"The Yalgoo Roads Board District was gazetted in 1896 and enlarged in 1912. The Board met first in a hotel, then in the Miners Institute from 1898, which is probably where the Salvation Army Biorama Company screened in December 1904. The Roads Board Hall was constructed in 1907, and Ray Dean’s West Touring Talkies was listed as screening there in 1940/41. The hall still exists, and is still used occasionally for film screenings." (Bertrand 2001)
