FIND MOUNT WAVERLEY

It’s not every day you come across a python in your classroom, lounge room or office. And it’s unusual to find a crocodile at your shopping centre or school fête. But when you book in your very own Reptile Encounter, you can expect to meet these and many more fascinating creatures.
Specialising in school programs, birthday parties and special events, Reptile Encounters gives people from all walks of life the opportunity to get up close with our unique Australian Wildlife. All our animals have been reared in captivity and are extremely comfortable around people. Also, Reptile Encounters presenters are trained animal handlers, so you can expect a show that is fun, educational and safe!

The Waverley Cinema was originally designed as a theatre-restaurant over thirty years ago. Mr Chris Bedelis of Waverley Road, Mount Waverley, constructed the building along with the row of shops connected to the cinema.

The Theatre-Restaurant complex was to be a two-part business. The licensed restaurant on the first floor was to be run by former Waverley councillor Doug Mayson. While the ground floor cinema was to be managed by film equipment supplier Brian Jean. Brian Jean of Mount Waverley and his family have run the cinema since it’s opening in 1974.
