79 HZ Sandman XX7 Van Flamenco Red - out 'n' about cruzin'
As AGro says Heddon Greta is still open. I only ever saw 2 x movies at the drive-in when I was driving a van (a WB): Goonies and Terminator. I do remember seeing Grease at the Skyline Drive-in in Lambton, but that would have been in the old's HQ wagon.
We drive past our old drive in site most days, which has only the little humps, and the cafeteria still there, they sold off the screen 15 or so years ago...very happy memories of the beginnings and endings of great relationships. We would love to go once again to a drive in, the closest for us would have to be the one in Wagga, let us know and we will be there, sadly the drive in night next weekend is out for us due to double booking our very hectic social life

Sadly the wagga drive is now redeveloped, and is now a dodgy car and caravan yard.
Shepparton is the closest operating drive to Wagga Wagga.
Will make some enquries

I saw Footrot Flats at the old Skyline drive in (Lambton)and a few at the old Metro drive in (Gateshead).
Only ever saw 1 movie at the one in Rutherford, but i don't remember much about that one.

There is usually a big Drive in night once or twice a year at Blacktown Drive in.
This one is organised by a Hot Rod club in Sydney.
BO6 = Rarer then a Sandman
Beenleigh drive in is still open at Yatala.
I saw Mad Max when it was first released at the Woodridge drive in... all three in fact and saw Terminator there as well. Also used to frequent the Skyline drive in at Coopers Plains and the Capalaba twin drive in.
Mostly watched from the back of a panelvan, very fond memories there... particularly if the first movie was crap...(which it usually was)
Went to the Skyline for an all night movie marathon with a mate and two girls in the back of my HJ Sandman, 5 movies and the first one was Running on empty... started raining part way through the second movie and got so heavy we had to shut the tailgates.... with four people in the car the windows fogged up so we had to find other things to amuse us.... that was a great night.

You are a tart Sean....but we all did it, and we all fitted in the back and the first movie was always crap so that was how you got to know each other......Beenleigh drive in is still open at Yatala.

Your mate's should have been more careful Sean. Us old people from the 70's never had that sort of surprise new's, amongst us anyway. More luck than good management probably.
