Located at the corner of Arundal Road and Johnston Road. The Skyline Drive-In opened as a single screen drive-in on 13th November 1956 with an (Invite only) screening of “The Last Wagon” starring Richard Widmark.

It was the first drive-in theatre to operate in New South Wales. It later became a twin with a capacity for 724 cars. The Bass Hill Drive-In was Australia’s oldest continually operating drive-in theatre.

It was operated by Greater Union/Birch, Carroll & Coyle who closed it on 31st October 2007 and it was immediately demolished. Housing has been built on the site.
