Open in 1963 the Drive-in was one of the largest with 1,100 car spaces in Melbourne. It traded until 1984 when it was closed. The site is now used as a flea market called Rubble and Riches.

For many years you could drive past the freeway and see the screen lit up at night.
Current condition: Very little remains (signs, speaker posts, car ramps, screen structure, etc.)

Address:
8-18 Leakes Rd
