Mukinbudin Drive-In

There may have a earlier Drive-in at Mukinbudin at the recreation ground. The Mukinbudin Drive-In opened in 1964, located on North Road to the north of the town. The drive-in closed in the early-1980’s.

The Mukinbudin Drive-In reopened in October 1987 with “Crocodile Dundee” & “Footrot Flats - The Movie”, and was still operating in 2016. It was closed in 2017.

Unfortunately this drive in is closed and the speakers have been removed.

Some speakers were stolen from this drive-in in April 2016! Unknown if they have been found?

Closed early 2000’s. Reopened in september 2008 with “Mamma Mia” and Nim’s Island. The local council(Mukinbudin Shire Council plans to demolish the drive-in to extend the council depot next door to the drive-in site(but hasn’t happened as yet?)?

That address is completely wrong, 6 Bent St Mukinbudin is directly across the road so that’s the best address to use.
