Penrith Skyline Drive-In

The Starline Drive-In opened in 1965 and was located in the suburb of Caddens. The drive-in was brought by Consolidated Drive-In Theatres Property Ltd. in November 1970 and they renamed it Penrith Skyline Drive-In. The drive-in was taken over Hoyts Theatres in March 1979, and taken over by Greater Union in July 1982. The Drive-in closed in August 1984. For many years it was in use by Trash and Treasure as a Sunday Market. It then became overgrown and rundown. In 2020 a small shopping centre named Caddens Corner Shopping Centre was built on the site.

The concession building in the middle of the field was there until 2002.

It won’t be a large one. It will serve the newly built houses across the road.

The shopping centre is called Caddens Corner Shopping Centre. Why the name Caddens Corner?

Is there anything left of the drive-in on that site now?

It’s located in the suburb Caddens, named after Thomas John Fuller Cadden. The shopping centre is on a corner, so I assume that’s where the name is derived. Nothing appears to be left.
