The main auditorium is shown above(nearest the foyer), the second auditorium(in the middle) is the smallest one(long and fairly narrow), and the third auditorium(the second biggest one), is the fariest from the the foyer(the screen is to your right as you enter that auditoriumq(possible reverse cinema?), the seats are steep too!!

davidcoppock commented about Mainline Drive-In on Aug 12, 2017 at 12:17 pm

There was a fire at the drive-in on 28/3/2017 after a ram raid on the atm in the snack bar causing about $400,000 dollars(Australian). The atm and vechicle that did the ram raid were later found burnt out on train tracks. The drive-in owner hopes to reopen after the snack bar and power is restored. The swap meet is happening though.
