The video library in that old dome operated inside there for 40 years. I think there might still some old video library posters visible on the 2 front doors?

The revoling screen had 3 sides(the 1st side was for showing the movie trailers, the 2nd side was for the orchestra, and the 3rd side was for screening the main movie. The 3sided screen was possibly unique in the World?

davidcoppock commented about Kojonup Drive-In on Oct 27, 2024 at 4:22 am

Looks like there is still possibly the base of the snack bar/projector room? Possibly the faint hint of the exit road on Murby Street? Still see the entrance road around the remains of the ticket booth at the end of John Street. Possibly still a metal building close to the North West of the remains of the ticket booth(maintenance shed?)?
