The Tors drive-in resides in the Queensland town of Charters Towers. The town itself is an interesting place, but the drive-in is even more so. Located on the Flinders Hwy on the way into town from the coast (a long way from the coast!), you can’t miss the sign. Upon entering you realise that the entrepreneur has been at work at this drive-in. Some more recent shots are below with the shots at the bottom taken a few years back.

The first and most obvious screen is that of the drive-in, to the rear of the field is the former indoor theatre and next to this is another outdoor screen that has been used for cars and walk-ins. A new larger screen two now exists and the drive-in does solid business.The projectors are Toshiba with Strong X60C xenon lamphouses. FM stereo is available also.
