The Trak Cinema
The Trak Cine Centre was opened on December 26 1975, by Steve Buge – a venture built off of his successful re-opening of the Lockleys Soldiers’ Memorial Hall a couple of years prior.
The opening features were Jeremy and Where The Lilies Bloom.
Programming of these initial days was relatively mainstream and of a wide audience appeal.
Unfortunately, this programming policy received mixed reactions in the eastern suburbs, and the cinema closed in the late 1970s.
