One of the state’s longest standing drive-in theatres lives right here within the Burdekin region, and soon enough, after many, many long months, the Stardust Drive-In Cinema will be back to creating long lasting open-aired memories for Queenslanders.
“It’s time, with the amazing new screen the Drive-In will come alive soon, and as we finish off the final details, we are preparing an opening for you, our Drive-In community, to experience,” shared Stardust Drive-In Cinema Manager, Suzzi Jerkic.
Just over a year ago, on the evening of Thursday, the 25th of January, 2024, Cyclone Kirrily tore through the Burdekin community and devastatingly, took the iconic outdoor screen of the Stardust Drive-In Cinema with it, leaving the community beyond heartbroken.
Suzzi recalled watching Cyclone Kirrily’s strong winds simply “peel” the silver screen off its sturdy supporting structure alongside her husband Frank last January, leaving the pair’s 360-car capacity drive-in theatre out of action for the past 14 months.
Suzzi and Frank have excitingly announced the community can expect to celebrate the debut of the cinema’s new outdoor screen on the 24th of May at 3pm sharp, and the pair have plenty of attractions planned to make the unveiling all the more special.
“Burdekin cruisers, Mustangs NQ, market stalls to wander through, food to enjoy, wonderful music and on the big screen will be the history of this iconic place,” added Suzzi.
"It is happening and I know you've all been waiting, but not as much as us here at the Stardust Drive-In - keep the date free and we will see you then.”
