Broadmeadows was the forth Skyline drive-in to be built in Melbourne. At one time it was considered that four drive-ins would be enough to satisfy the drive-in theatregoers of the city – how wrong they were. Broadmeadows never reaped the box-office returns that Burwood and Oakleigh attained, in fact even the steady business that Preston garnered eluded Broady for most of its life. Broady had all the elements of the other successful locations but was soon swamped by competition- Notes by Drive in’s Downunder.
