Cast

Production

[edit]

The series was researched over two years and filmed over four months.[2] It was shot on location near Ballarat and Bendigo.[4] It was a difficult shoot as it took place during a heatwave. A $250,000 set of the British camp was almost destroyed during the Ash Wednesday bushfires.[2] A Eureka flag was stolen during filming.[5]

Reception

[edit]

The series was a ratings disappointment compared to A Town Like Alice. However it sold widely overseas and screened in the US.[6][7]
