Is the navigational light beacon still there on the hill behind the complex?
This complex now being run as an independent with backing and support by event cinemas is a treasure, a really nice cinematic experience

The Tower Cinemas were given this name as in 1865 a navigational light beacon stood on the hill behind the complex. The cinemas stand on the site of a coal mine, which opened in 1825, the first commercial coal mine in Australia.
