Bingara's Roxy Theatre - restored to glory

How many towns in our region have lost their historic streetscapes to over-enthusiastic developers?

Now, some of those towns which seemed to lack 'progress' in the 60s and 70s are now rejoicing that their beutiful old buildings have survived and can now be brought back to life.

One such is the Roxy Theatre in Bingara - where as Bob Kirk tells, the townsfolk opened the doors and found it in almost pristine condition.
