Abandoned Driveway - Former Oakleigh Drive-In

Old light pole along the rear entrance driveway from Clarinda Road to the Hoyts Skyline Oakleigh Drive-in which opened in 1955 and closed in 1990. In later years the site was rebuilt as a twein and a new rear entrance faced Bourke Road which did not exist at the time of opening. The drive in site is now a retirement village and housing estate. Other remains of the drive in include cypress trees around the site and a section of high barbed-wire topped Colorbond fence along Bourke Road

 

More on the Oakleigh Skyline Drive-In can be found here, including the light poles in their original condition which ran along the site.
