The Esperance Drive-In opened on 26th December 1965 with John Wayne in “The Sea Chase”, and “West Bound”. The Esperance Drive-In closed on 1st March 1987 with “A Fine Mess” and “Labyrinth”. There is now a private house on the site(snack bar/bio box?), possibly surrounded by the ramps?

The screen frame and snack bar(and bio box?) Is still there. The site is now a building supplies company.

I don’t believe the snack bar is still there, the foundation of it might be though.
