We lived on Seaview Road. Went there many times. Before I had a car we used to walk in and sit around the playground. Then later in at least 3 of my cars. Last time was in 1998. I think it closed soon after that.

Yes, I went to the Blueline. Along with a lot of kids, we went in daylight hours – in pyjamas, and there was a playground with swings and things in front of the screen. Most kids would fall asleep in the cars, and would be carried in to their homes, once home.
Later on I went on many ‘dates’ as a teen, there. Once in a ‘ute’, where we parked sideways, between 2 speakers, and we would use one for the back, one for the cabin, and being winter we had pillows and rugs, and about 10 of us teens in the one vehicle. I had a boyfriend with a big 1930s car, and we would put others in the huge boot, and once inside, let them out, so they got free entry, as entry was ‘per person’. not per vehicle.
But strangely enough, I became part of the culture for drive-ins and movies, as I became a freelance artist in my late teens. I worked for Val Morgans and designed many of the ads. Before the show, and at interval, I’d stay in the car, and watch for my work, so I could see what it looked like on the screens. Then scramble for the kiosk just before the next movie started. Always double sessions. Also went to the one at Seaton, but the Blue Line was always my favourite.
