This drive-in theatre was also used as Victoria’s drive-in church in 1968.

The fence and entrance(and exit?) gate/s, and the posts of the screen or sign/s(near the entrance gate) remain.

The Doncaster Drive-in was on Bulleen Street. The entrance was on Greenway Street, and the exit on Bulleen Street( almost opposite Avon Street). The Ramps and entrance and exit roads are still there, and also the ruins of the snack bar(and bio box?). There was plans to reopen the drive-in in(1991 or 1992?).

Imagine buliding a drive in at a foggy area?

Located in the suburb of Bulleen, Hoyts changed the name to Doncaster – in actual fact a few suburbs away, when the new Eastern Freeway opened and terminated at Doncaster. It was hoped that a new Freeway access would help attendances. Throughout its short life this drive-in was plagued with the constant problem of fog. Constructed on low-lying ground virtually on the banks of the Yarra river, the rolling foggy conditions were impossible to control.
