The Majestic Theatre was built by the English family in 1928/29, constructed out of local hardwood timber milled next door and held together by over 250,000 nails. It has survived cyclones, windstorms and other natural events. During World War 2, the Majestic played a huge role in entertaining troops. The cinema used carbon arc projectors from the early 1930s until 1984, one of which is on display in the foyer. More recently it used a single 35mm Simplex projector powered by a XENON lamp and coupled to a Cinemeccanica drive. It now uses state-of-the-art digital projection and sound processing equipment, including a 2kw NEC 1200C digital projector powered by a 4 tetrabyte GDC server, an ultra bright super high gain screen, and a JBL digital sound processor offering full surround sound. The Majestic is described as Australia's oldest operating commercial cinema that has not changed its appearance inside or out since it opened in 1929.

Australia's oldest operating commercial cinema that has not changed its appearance inside or out since it opened in 1929, offering a unique and very special old style cinema experience.
