First episode, like the first series was brilliant.
Where do you reckon it is set and where do you reckon it is filmed? That mountain range looks a lot like the Pentecost Range on the GRR, but I suppose there are other places that look similar.
It sounded to me as if they referred to Dubbo as head office. Would that be right or did I not hear correctly?
Hi,
The odd baobab tree in some shots must be in the Kimberly area some where. There seemed to be a large body of water in the background of some of the town shots, which may be estuarine.
Cheers
I noticed the boababs but wasn't sure how widespread they are.
The shots with the huge river in the background reminded me a bit of places near Derby.
filmed in Winton
second movie is called goldstone
and abc tv series starting later this month.
It's filmed around Wyndham and Kununurra. I had to laugh at one point when Jay refers to going into the city, and there's shot of the one main street of Wyndham!Quote:

Those particular baobabs (Adansonia sp.) are "boabs" (A. gregorii), common in the area.
Yes, 2nd movie was Goldstone, which came a few years after the original movie "Mystery Road".Quote:

Pickles.
I liked it. Better than some of the supposed "bush" based movies I've seen.
I found it by accident and enjoyed the first two eposides.
I wouldnt normally watch a drama mini series AND it was on past my bedtime! but so far it has me hooked.
The WY number plates are a giveaway for Wyndham Shire. Beautiful part of the country.
I also noticed the Toyo M55F tyres on the 45/47 series in the opening scenes... 🙄 does that make me a rivet counter or trainspotter type???😲
All of the above! [bigrolf]Quote:
