"It screened four nights a week, with three changes of programme (Wed, Fri-Sat, Sun), till 1965 when television reduced patronage and so the number of screenings each week. Terry Scott took over from Norman Mills as operator in 1965, then in 1972, after Rourke's death, the lease was taken on by Albany Investments. But the town was too close to Albany to survive the competition from the (by now) three drive-ins in the larger city: Mount Barker drive-in closed for a time, then was re-opened for about 12-18 months in the mid-eighties by an elderly man from Denmark (possibly Mr Courtney), before closing permanently."
