The Nightcliff(Paspalis) Drive-in was in Nightcliff, not Paspalis.
The Paspalis {Nightcliff} Drive in theatre which was the largest privately owned one in Australia. The building in the centre comprised a projection room, milk bar, and toilets. In front of the building were kept deck chairs for patrons without cars. Trucks, buses and large vehicles used to park in the back and cars in front of them. The ticket office was midway between the gate and the projection building.
