A few commercial cinemas were built after the Second World War. Perhaps the most important is the Robinvale picture theatre, called the Roxy (Hermes 26936) (mid 1950s) which used a British Nissen or an American Quonset hut to form the auditorium with a Modern entrance pavilion to one side.
This cinema had a deep pedigree. It was established by a member of the Nulty family from Walpeup.
They had first shown films in public halls as travellers, then they established the Roxy at Ouyen, took over the Rex at Charlton and finally drive-in cinemas in Mildura. Robinvale was the most important Soldier Settlement area in north western Victoria.
