The Wirrina drive Inn ~ This was built on the corner of Walter Rd, Collier Rd and Johnsmith St, by Metropolitan Cinemas Pty Ltd, a local company of which R. Yelland was a major figure, independent of both the major drive-in chains of the time - City Theatres and Ace Theatres - and opened on 24 March 1959. The name was said to be an aboriginal word meaning ‘somewhere to go’, and the cinema was designed by W.G.Bennett and Associates.
