Production [ edit ]
The film was based on Claire Meillon's children's novel The New Surf Club (1959). Meillon was formerly assistant fiction editor of The Australian Women's Weekly . The book was based on her brother's founding of Newport Surf Club, on Sydney's Northern Beaches. The name "Bungala" is a combination of "Bilgola" and "Bungan",[3] which are also northern beaches of Sydney, and located near Newport Beach.
Jimar Productions made the film at the request of the Children's Film Foundation.[2]
The film was shot on location at Bungan Beach and at Artransa Studios in Sydney in April–May 1961. Many of the child stars had never acted before.[2]
The actors were given brief training in surf lifesaving.[4]
Release [ edit ]
The film was released in the United Kingdom, Canada and Europe before Australia.[5]
