  • <p>Mount Magnet Cinema  Hepburn Street and Naughton Street, Mount Magnet, WA.</p>
            
              <p>The Mount Magnet Outdoor Picture Theatre has considerable social significance to the local community as a popular source of entertainment, especially during the 1960s and 70s prior to the introduction of video recorders. The place has further rarity value as one of only a few remaining outdoor theatres in the district.</p>

  • <h1>York Drive-In Wheeler Street and Avon Terrace, York, WA – Photo credits : “Greg Davis of Explored Visions by GD Facebook page”</h1>
            
              <p>Note from Greg Davis of Explored Visions – I first saw the little ticket office from the road and that got me intrigued as to what was behind all the bushes. A quick explore showed it was an old Drive-in Theatre. The screen had collapsed onto the ground and the projection room/kiosk has seen better days. The poles are still there for the speakers too – Contributed by Greg Lynch – <script type="text/javascript">
