Correct address is 8 Sobey Rd, Kadina. The site still retains the shape of a drive-in, ramp markings still visable. Looks like the concession building was converted into a house.

The address for this is now Bogart Drive, Katherine. A house sub-division was built on the old site. The drive-in appears to have closed in the mid 80s.

May have been the first drive-in to use FM radio to transmit sound to the cars, apparently they started doing it in early 1984.

Opened on August 12, 1951. The above address also appears accurate, old ads says “Highway 241 North”.

There was a drive-in located at the address of N Garland Rd & Scott Rd, McKenzie. This appears in 1956 and 1957 aerial photos but is gone ten years later in 1967. There is nothing left of the drive-in today. Now we need to figure out WHICH of the two McKenzie drive-in’s this one was.

That sucks but at least they plan to rebuild and renovate instead of just closing.

Opened on 11th of August 1949 with “Dalton’s Ride Again” and shorts “Jolly Jingles” and “Gullible Canary”. The Grand Opening was on the 14th with “Rolling Home” and “Screwdriver” which I think was a Woody Woodpecker cartoon.
