Remember heading to the drive-ins in Adelaide when you were a kid? Or getting along to one of the many city, suburban or country cinemas that were dotted around the state?
Author Scott Smith has captured those memories in a new book.
Featuring magical stories from those who were there and over 1,000 images of these iconic sites — it’s a South Australian book not to be missed!
A professionally designed "coffee table" book
428 full colour, hard cover book with ribbon bookmark and painted page edges wrapped in a funky slip-case!
Every S.A. drive-in is covered (including a few that you may never knew even existed)!
Never before seen photos of some of those iconic South Australian picture theatres and drive-ins!
Set in Cinema One of the historic Piccadilly Cinema in North Adelaide, the art-deco surrounds of this iconic Adelaide venue are an ideal setting for the launch of this publication! Hosted by Looking Back Publications, join author Scott Smith and legendary former Adelaide morning radio host, MC Tony Pilkington (with some stories of his own) as we launch Looking Back: South Australian Picture Theatres and Drive-Ins
