Coober Pedy Drive-In
Coober Pedy Drive-In Theatre
A desert drive-in cinema opened in 1965, where the sign on the screen banning explosives has made it a popular photo spot.
This open-air drive-in theater opened in 1965 and is still run by volunteers. It usually screens films on Saturday nights every two weeks. Watching from your car or from a chair under the starry sky has a special charm. The sign at the entrance banning explosives reflects the town’s mining history, when miners routinely carried dynamite. Screening schedules follow local notices, and outside screening times you can still take photos around the site.
