A closer address is 702 Bruce Hwy, Woree QLD 4868, Australia.

This puts it on the north side of the drive-in.

An October 2021 Google Street View shows the screen on the back of the property still standing. However, a small “roundabout” has been put in place where the property connects to the highway. That indicates that development may be soon arriving if it hasn’t started already.
