Venue Comments

"The hall was built at the height of prosperity, in Robinson Rd, near the intersection of Burt Rd, opening on 8 April 1922. The old hall is still visible behind the added facade: still later the Shire Offices were added next door, entailing a further modernising of the facade. Almost immediately after its opening, films were screened there, with a dance to follow, though it is not clear how frequent these occasions were. One operator who is remembered at Woodanilling is Vern Watson, who screened occasionally in the forties. In the early fifties the town was briefly on the Kanzler circuit." (Bertrand 2001)
