When Shane Warne died some were gutted. My reaction was along the lines of "We've just been spared another 20+ years of his commentary".

There's one about 10 minutes from me in Melbourne, I've never ever been.

I don't quite understand the appeal of sitting in one's car to watch a movie, especially considering how premium cinema experiences have gone.

When you've kids it was a good experience (went to the one in Adelaide once or twice a year until it shut down). Bring whatever snacks / drinks you want, doesn't matter if kids are noisy (unless shouting) or fidget. It was by car x movies, so for around $40 we'd see a kids movie then one for adults after (kids either asleep, playing devices, or when older watching), so it was a cheap way to see movies. Wife, youngest (17 so, student, which is stuff all discount these days) and I paid twice that recently for a movie in VMax (better than standard, but not gold class).

The movies were such a good make out spot back in the day. Do kids still do that?

Blimey, there's a wikipedia page for everything! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_drive-in_theatres_in_Australia

Nope, nothing left in Adelaide. I think the one I saw Life Of Brian at was the Starlight in Canberra. Closed 1993 for medium density housing. Makes sense, drive-ins took up an awful lot of space.

Not only is there one left in Perth, there’s a proposal for a new one with multiple screens. Wouldn’t have thought it financially viable myself.

I was seeing a girl .
She asked me let's go to the drive in.

All I heard was do you wanna come in for coffee..even if don't drink coffee.

Hearing about the guy who survived 13 days in the Blue Mountains, made me remember James Scott surviving over 40 days in the Himalayas with 2 chocolate bars - that one was 1992, doesn't seem like that long ago, but 32 years, wow.

Similar timeline to the American who walked out of ?Kalbarri in WA and did something similar
