  • <p>Wildwood Drive-In Poster</p>
  • <p>The picture shows the tarmac section of Drive Inn Road Gladstone South Australia. You will see it turns into an unsealed section of road (as per the satellite photo). The road has not changed since 1981. The drive Inn entrance and exit are to the right hand side of the sealed section of road, approx. 200m ahead.</p>
  • <p>The address of the Drive Inn is 28 Drive Inn Road Gladstone South Australia. Both the entrance and exits remain at the property.</p>
  • <p>This was the earliest version of a ‘trailer’ I guess!</p>
  • <p>Speaker posts were been removed between 1995-1998, but the wires are still in the ground. Hundreds of them.</p>

  • <p>My sister and I use to play on this slippery dip in 1981-1983.</p>
  • <p>This playground use to be surrounded by a large established rosemary hedge from the 1970’s-1983, now gone.</p>
  • <p>The projector box was separate, but right in front of the cafeteria. The new owner joined the 2 buildings in 1995-1998.</p>
  • <p>The new owner of the site told me the Cloudline Drive Inn in Gladstone South Australia use to be packed in it’s day! People came to the Drive Inn and often stayed overnight. It serviced a large population when you included all the surrounding towns of the mid-north districts of South Australia, such as Jamestown, Pt Pirie, Laura and Crystal Brook. People even came as far as Whyalla, Port Augusta, Hawker and Peterborough South Australia and some even further. There was a real sense of community spirit in those days.</p>
  • <p>Charles Chauvel - Charles Chauvel - Charles Chauvel</p> <p>Charles Chauvel - Courtesy of Wikipedia</p> <p>Charles Edward Chauvel OBE (7 October 1897 – 11 November 1959) was an Australian filmmaker, producer and screenwriter and nephew of Australian army General Sir Harry Chauvel. He is noted for making the films Forty Thousand Horsemen in 1940 and Jedda in 1955.</p> <p>After leaving school, he worked on Queensland properties, and on his family property when his father was at war, before studying commercial art and taking drama classes in Sydney. He was fascinated by films and pestered a friend, showman Reginald “Snowy” Baker, to give him work as a production assistant; usually he was the man in charge of the horses. Chauvel worked on The Shadow of Lightning Ridge (1920) and The Jackeroo of Coolabong (1920) with Baker; he also assisted on Robbery Under Arms (1920)</p> <p>After the war he made a film about a pioneer family in Queensland, Sons of Matthew (1949), drawing on his own family history</p> <p>Jedda (1955)</p> <p>In 1955 Chauvel made perhaps his best known film, Jedda. Jedda is a story of an Aboriginal baby girl raised by a white station owner and kept in ignorance of traditional ways and the Aboriginal man who carries her off, even though this is a forbidden “wrong way” marriage, and brings tragedy to both of them.</p> <p>Both Jedda and Matthew involved travel to remote areas and difficult conditions for filming, and are considered Chauvel’s best works. Jedda was the first Australian feature film made in colour, and had to be developed overseas as there were no colour processing facilities in Australia. For Jedda, the Chauvels sought out Aboriginal people for the lead roles, and in Robert Tudawali, playing the male lead, they found someone with great natural ability. Both these films were made in a period when the Australian film industry had virtually collapsed, unable to compete with imported films.</p> <p>Final years and death After this, Chauvel turned to television, making the BBC series Walkabout which travelled to interesting locations in Australia. He died unexpectedly of coronary vascular disease on 11 November 1959, less than a month after Errol Flynn, whom he cast in In the Wake of the Bounty. According to Ken G. Hall, Chauvel had left a message asking to speak to Hall on the day he died, and left an estate worth £32,000.</p> <p>Filmography</p> <p>1920 Robbery Under Arms actor directed by Kenneth Brampton</p> <p>1920 The Shadow of Lightning Ridge actor directed by Wilfred Lucas</p> <p>1920 The Jackeroo of Coolabong actor directed by Wilfred Lucas</p> <p>1922 Captain Fly-By-Night actor</p> <p>1922 The Man from the Desert actor</p> <p>1923 Strangers of the Night actor</p> <p>1926 The Moth of Moonbi director / producer / screenwriter</p> <p>1926 Greenhide director / producer / screenwriter</p> <p>1933 In the Wake of the Bounty director / producer / screenwriter</p> <p>1935 Heritage director / producer / screenwriter</p> <p>1936 Uncivilised director / producer / screenwriter</p> <p>1936 Rangle River screenwriter (with Elsa Chauvel) directed by Clarence G.
