1 / 3Warrina Cineplex
📍 Currajong, QLD
Independently owned 1950s Art Deco cinema in Currajong showing a mix of blockbusters, family films, and art house titles. Special morning tea sessions include scones, cake, and refreshments. Men must wear shirts — singlets are not permitted.
How did we miss this cinema...definitely a wow cinema! We are told it was built 30 years ago as a reminder to the good old days. A great cinema to watch Top Gun 2 and now we can't wait to see Elvis movie there. The screen is new and huge and the sound is clear and just the right decibels to sit at the front which we love to do to feel the action. The staff are all lovely people who help to make the whole atmosphere a true art Deco experience. There is even a dress code men have to wear a shirt! I highly recommend checking this amazing cinema...not to be missed on your travels to Townsville!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
A memorable cinema experience for families who appreciate classic theatres — the Art Deco setting, retro charm, and morning tea sessions make a standard movie outing feel like an occasion. Confirm session times directly with the cinema before travelling, as advertised times have occasionally differed from what was actually screening.

“Love love LOVED this cinema, very cute original 50s style cinema. They show a mix of art house and major movies. Moderate sized cady bar. The place has been maintained well so has the original vibe but remains in great condition. A fun experience and definitely worth the trip if you love older cinemas. There is a dress code! Men not to wear singlets. I would return :)”

“Such a beautiful cinema/theatre with classic style. Love visiting this place. Staff helpful and polite. Does have a dress code so almost been caught out with a singlet on but thankfully had a long-sleeve shirt on hand. Great flavoursome popcorn and a really good range of flicks released!”
