The chairs used in the walk in area came from the old Pioneer Open-air Theatre in Tennant Creek.

davidcoppock commented about Pioneer Open-Air Theatre on Jul 10, 2019 at 4:28 am

Address was 100 Paterson Street(lot 44). After closure, the cold room of the theatre was used for a roller skating rink, until the fire on 30/1/1977. The foyer and milk bar at the front of the theatre building was the only part left after the fire. The Pioneer Milk Bar was too dangerous and ruinous (and closed?) and boarded up in 1989. A mural was put on the front of the old theatre building in june/july 2006. A fire destroyed the building and mural in 2009. The remains were demolished(date unkonown?), and the site is now vacant and still for sale.
