The Cunderdin Drive-In opened on 24th January 1963 with cartoons(not named), news and Ethel Merman in “There’s No Business Like Show Business” & “Assignment South Pacific”. The drive-in closed May 1986 and was purchased in 1989 for use by a church group for use with Aboriginal outreach. It was then added to John Marsden’s chain of Country Drive-Ins', but never reopened.
The site is now occupied by Trufab Engineering. The screen is still standing, and the perimeter lighting is still in place, as is a large corrugated iron building in the middle of the site and the concession/bio-box building in use as an office.

7 West Main St, Cunderdin WA 6407 – GrainKing now occupies the site.
Exhibitor was Clarence(Paddy) Baker(1963 to 1986). Opened with 200 cars. Later expaned to 250 cars(date unknown?).
This actually opened on the 24th not the 25th, and the opening films were “There’s No Business Like Show Business” and “Assignment South Pacific”. “State Fair” was screened the next night. I’ve uploaded the opening weeks program ad in two parts.
