    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.

    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!
    There's also the odd poster for Kingaroy beer and Bourke (something?). I guess they're trying to make it generally outback/up north Oz.

    Those particular baobabs (Adansonia sp.) are "boabs" (A. gregorii), common in the area.
    If at first you don't succeed, that's one data point. - xkcd

    Yes, 2nd movie was Goldstone, which came a few years after the original movie "Mystery Road".
    The current Ch 2 Mini Series, which is what this thread is about, has just commenced, the first two episodes screening last Sunday, episode 3 next Sunday....You can google for the background if you like.
    I notice a few "cynical" comments?.....Not impressed,....tell me more,.....I thought it was brilliant Aussie TV.

    I liked it. Better than some of the supposed "bush" based movies I've seen.

    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???😲
    The Isuzu 110. Solid and as dependable as a rock, coming soon with auto box😊
    The Range Rover L322 4.4.TTDV8 ....probably won't bother with the remap..😈
