History
Historically, it is the home of the oldest running cinema in Australia which was originally a travelling attraction (since 1923) that found a home and has been offering entertainment ever since. This cinema is called the Amusu (pronounced 'amuse you') Theatre, and movies are screened every fortnight.
The name Manildra is an aboriginal word meaning 'winding river'. It is said the town was called this because of Mandagery Creek, which winds around Manildra's east side.
