Located on the edge of the north-eastern Victoria town of Cobram, near the border with New South Wales. The Cobram Drive-In was located on the corner of Purgatory Road and Murray Valley Highway.
It was independently operated and had a rather short life, opening in August 1983, and closing on 17th December 1985.
In March 2010, the ticket booth, screen and projection/concession building all still stand. Other small buildings have been built on the land, which are used as a manufacturing unit for Oasis Mobile Homes.

No Drive-ins listed at all in the 1956 Motion picture Almanac.thought they would have had a few screens.
Opened in August 1983 and closed on 17/12/1985. 1050 cars.
December 2018 update: a few more large factory buildings have been built on the site however amazingly the concession building, ticket box and SCREEN all still stand!
Are they going to show movies for their employees? If that’s the case I’m moving there and getting a job.
