Where am I? Competition.

Just straying back to the original post - the track at Leyburn wasn't Morgan Park it was an ex WW2 bomber base, had three main runways in a triangular shape. It is about 4 kays from the village of Leyburn, where they hold annual sprint meetings.
Morgan Park is a top class racetrack just a few kays out of Warwick, surrounded by other horsepower related facilities, (1/8th mile dragstrip, polocrosse fields, three-day eventing course, and there was a mud racing track).

I suspect the answer you are looking for is Augathella, where the movie was going to be made but that fell through. The movie was eventually made at Camden (NSW) and at the old Pagewood Studios in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs. The movie is set in the fictitious town of Murrumbilla (the real Murrumbilla is near Narrabri, NSW). Smiley author (Neville Ernest) Moore Raymond, was born at Pimpana in Queensland. As a child he lived in Pampana, Augathella and Sharon near Bundaberg.

Interestingly, Moore Raymond is not as well known as his younger brother Bob Raymond who older forumites may remember for his current affairs and nature writings, and TV journalism.

Correct. The author of the book that the movie was based on was the son of the Augathella school teacher. He wrote about his best mate, Didey Creevy. Augathella sits just about in the right spot for some one driving from Brisbane to Longreach to have a break. Well worth spending a day or two here, good pub too. Bob

Looks like some kind of water catchment, near Ilfracombe? Bob

Not sure on the name of the area, but it looks like something at the Wave Rock site (?) But it may be another area I've seen, (on da tellie

).
They made a catchment/containment system around said monolyth (whichever it is) for waterint stck, and indeed the house if I recall correctly.
But I have of course been know to be wrong quite often

Good description Chops, but wrong state. Bob got the state wrong too.

Dam, I was at the Leyburn sprints last year. It was the location of the first Grand Prix and the Air Force Base was the location a secret Z Force mission was launched from.
