The Wagin Drive-In opened on 12th September 1963 with Frank Sinatra in “Sergeants 3” and “The Lone Ranger and the Lost City of Gold”, plus a color cartoon (not named), and news. The opening night was invitation only, the next night was for the general public (same programme). The Wagin Drive-In closed in 1983. Only the ticket booth is still there complete - Notes by David Coppock
David Coppock on January 16, 2018 at 9:21 am I think the screen may been gone too. The snack bar and bio box is still there, and the fences and entrance (and exit?) roads and gates. The building on the spot where the screen may have been is possibly part of the Wagin Historical Village?
The projectors are now at The Betty Terry Memorial Theatre (formally called Little Gem Theatre) in Wagin.
