The Robin Hood movie on the last night of operation was called “Robin Hood Prince of thieves”.
Closed on 22/10/1988. Reopened on 9/12/1988.
The listed address of this one is actually Cnr. Tait St. and Smyths Rd. Delecombe.
The snack bar(and bio box?) building might still be there behind a house, along with the entrance(or exit road?) and fences(and gate?) and(ramps(graded out?)?) and some trees around the sides.
The screen was only finished being erected 5 minutes before the opening night of the drive-in theatre. Later called Village Southern Drive-in after Hoyts sold the drive-in to Village. There is a road running though the former drive-in site called Southern Court.
Opened on 23/12/1961 and closed on 9/6/1991 with “Home Alone” and “Sleeping with the enemy” and “Edward Scissorhands” and Robin Hood(Kevin Costner version)“. The projectors were sold to tne Palais Theatre in St Kilda.
