The Lake Cinema, at the top of Lake Macquarie in the town of Boolaro, is run by the very friendly Bob Mason. Bob gives his older audience the films they want to see and at a price which is amazingly reasonable, namely seven dollars a ticket for everyone. I was delighted the Saturday that I was there, to see that the 2 PM matinee was sold out.It is very encouraging for those of us who believe that such cinemas are a vital part of the community, to see the Lake Cinema doing so well. It must be added that its weekend cinema. Outside of holidays it only runs Friday, Saturday and Sunday. But it's well worth visiting to say hi to Bob and soak up its unique charm.
