Melba Theatre High Street and Elgin Boulevard, Wodonga, VIC

The rise of television and drive-in theatres eventually led to the cinema’s decline. The Melba Theatre held its final screening in 1968. The last known events at the Melba Theatre was a school speech night in 1969 and a Normie Rowe concert sometime in 1970, before he was famously conscripted into the Army.

The theatre building was demolished in 1971 to make way for a Woolworths (later a Safeway supermarket).
