Le Phonoscope de Frank St Hill (Sturt street face au Post Office, 23 mai 1896)
Vers la fin du mois de mai, Frank St Hill installe son phonoscope sur Sturt street :
The phonoscope, a combination of the kinetoscope and phonograph on an improved principle, is now bung exhibited in Sturt street, opposite the Post Office. Amongst the many subjects reproduced is Miss Edith Battenburg, of London, as Trilby, singing “Ben Bolt.” Several hundreds of people witnessed the living reproductions on Saturday evening last, while many were unable to gain admission. The figures are life-like, and the singing and accompaniments perfectly audible. The exhibition will be open afternoon and evening until further notice.

En provenance de Bendigo, la troupe Newbury-Spada arrive avec un cinématographe qui doit présenter des vues animées dans les premiers jours de décembre :
THE CINEMATOGRAPHE.
The above wonderful invention will be exhibited at the Academy of Music on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings next in conjunction with the Newbury-Spada Company. As this will be the first occasion on which the cinematographe will be presented to the Ballarat public the theatre will no doubt be taxed to its utmost holding capacity. [...]
