this site

This non-commercial web site is a single point of reference and chronicle for much of the work and interests of Ross Thorne.

It covers a period of well over 50 years, with select highlights of publications, personal recounts and photographs.

While the majority of content is made up of published documents in PDF format, there are also copies of previously unpublished works.

The reference to DVDs and other media are purely of historical interest, produced by an enthusiastic amateur film and video maker from the age of 16.

The site is split into five, colour coded categories and sub categories. You will find these categories at the top of every page.

Under "list of publications" above can be found over 120 titles by the Author.

An extensive new list of more than 120 publications brings a new category to the menu. See the right-hand end of the orange bar above for "list of publications".

The Hoyts Entertainment Centre in Sydney can be found under Lost Cinemas and Theatres. Extensively remodelled it is now almost impossible to recognise anything of the original form of the interior as spaces have been reconfigured.

This article contains photos and cross sectional drawings of the original configuration, features and decor.

Please check the orders page for instructions on purchasing any DVDs.
