Info incorrect - ‘Back to the Future’ actually opened the old Astra when it was bought by GU in 1985. GU painted and dressed it up until they demolished it to make way for the GU 3. Last movie at the GU Astra was ‘Top Gun’

Info incorrect - ‘Back to the Future’ opened the old Astra when it was bought by GU in 1985. GU painted and dressed it up until they demolished it to make this complex. First movies at the GU 3 in early January 88 were ‘Fatal Attraction, ‘Big Foot - Harry and the Hendersons’, ‘Benji - The Hunted’ and ‘Planes Trains and Automobiles’

Just moved to Avoca Street - and heard there once was a cinema on Bondi Rd. It would have been ONE minute walk from my house! We now buy milk at the BP!
