Terang drive-in was a late build in drive-in terms. It is amazing when you consider that Terang, located between Warrnambool and Camperdown, has a population of only 2,000.
It is difficult to imagine how a small population could support a drive-in, but it probably traded moderately well with loyal support on weekends from the surrounding districts. What remains of the site was used as the location for a treated pine wood processing plant. The structures that remain look anything but cheap and spartan, in fact the snack bar/projection building looks well constructed and one imagines the gardens were well manicured in their day.
