1965 at the Drive-In

From Google Maps, here's the view from above the Metro Drive-In cinema at Innaloo in 1965. At the top right, notice the empty fields which are now Innaloo Shopping Centre. And note the lack of traffic lights and indeed almost complete absence of traffic at the intersection of Scarborough Beach Road and Liege Street at the top right.

And here's the current view.

                   A history of the theatre, courtesy of cinemaweb:

On 20 April 1957, M.G.M. opened the Metro Drive-in with a gala screening of High Society, attended by more than 300 notables: according to the West Australian (18 April 1957) this included 'members of Parliament, civic leaders and heads of the commerce, industry and theatrical sections of the community'. The venue was claimed to be at that time the largest in the country, with provision for 950 cars, and a holding area at the rear for a further 600 waiting for the next session. It had a four-lane entrance to the 22 acre site, and seating accommodation for 400 walk-ins. The screen was advertised as one of the two largest in Australia, at 72 feet high, and bolted into 500 tons of concrete foundation, to withstand winds of up to 80 miles per hour. A nurse was employed to supervise the children's playground, which was securely fenced. There were even attendants to treat windscreens with a water-repellant solution so the screen would remain clearly visible despite rain. Restaurant patrons could eat while they viewed through the glass windows and heard the sound broadcast over speakers. Parents could heat up baby food or bottles, and infants' changing facilities included provision for washing and drying nappies
