There is information about the Pink Lake Drive-in at the website http://members.westnet.com.au/dakota/pinklake.htm .
The Pink Lake Drive-in was opened by W. S. Paterson, Esq, President of the Esperance Shire Council. The screen measured 90 feet by 42 feet 60 feet above the ground on a rise 27 feet above the front car ramp.
The land for the Pink Lake Drive-in was bought by Mick Lalor several years before construction began. Exhibitor was Bob Yellend. The drive-in was situated in a natural depression. The screen was mounted on top of a sand hill.
