Opened in 1954.
Approximate opening date was June 26th, 1950. It was located on Broadway St East.
Apparently opened in July 1953.
George Larson appears to have obtained ownership in 1953, the January 24, 1953 issue of Box Office reported this and also mentioned it had 200 seats for walk-ins. So this place actually had more indoor seats than car space.
The original owner was Arthur Vaudner, the drive-in was open as early as 1955.
The opening film was “Luxury Liner” along with the Stooges short “G.I. Wanna Home”.
Now a housing estate appropriately called “Cinema Park”.
Closed in late 1972/early 1973.
I guess an “adult” for ticket purposes was over 12. I highly doubt they would let “unaccompanied” children even enter the site.
Possibly closed with “Striking Distance” and “Mo' Money”.

Not sure when it actually closed but it was still there complete in 1996.
Demolished after 1998.
Demolished in the mid-90’s, now a housing estate.
I completely got the address wrong, this was actually located at 160 Hastings River Dr, Port Macquarie NSW 2444. Its now Port Home Zone.
The house is definitely the original concession building with extensions added.
I don’t think this was ever a twin, I’ve seen photos of it throughout its lifetime and it was always a single screen site.
The Bentley Motel was built in the 60’s and the rooms had a view of the screen, I wonder if they also had sound wired to the rooms.
17450 Great Eastern Hwy, Kellerberrin WA 6410. I don’t think even the ticket box remains, possibly the entrance gates might still exist.
Approximate address is 124 Clayton Rd, Narrogin WA 6312
correct address is 3 Paragon St, Pingelly WA 6308
Opened after March 1961.
What is now Arabella St was the entrance road. The ramps and screen were still there in 1995.
Kirin Way was the exit road, the entire site is housing.
There was a small building on the site after the drive in was demolished, this remained there until around 2001 when the current strip mall was built.
