Why You Need a Production
Coordinator in Australia
Question: Is Australia a country, a continent, or an island? Answer: Yes!
Joking aside, Australia is the biggest continent country and the second largest island (after Greenland) in the world. It has several vibrant cities like Sydney and Melbourne, but it’s also one of the earth’s driest continents, with 40% of its landmass uninhabitable due to lack of rainfall. But don’t worry–With your production coordinator and location scout working in tandem with local journalist fixers, we’ll find you the best locations for your needs.
Perth
Perth, the capital of Western Australia, is known for its laid-back lifestyle, sandy beaches, and 365 days of sunshine. But it also serves as the gateway to the wild, arid Outback region of Western Australia. If filming here, expect your location scout to collaborate closely with your production coordinator in Australia to help you explore the area’s stunning natural attractions like the world-famous Margaret River wineries, and ancient Aboriginal rock art, ochre cliffs, and tropical rainforests in the Kimberley region.
Tasmania
Located 150 miles south of the Australian mainland, Tasmania is an island of breathtaking beauty and also boasts the cleanest air in the world! The Tasmanian capital Hobart is brimming with life with its large port, bustling downtown, and colonial-era cottages.
Launceston in the Tamar Valley is another charming colonial city to film in and has a great choice of hotels, restaurants, bars, and one of the largest and most influential film societies in Australia, which you can connect with through your production coordinator.
Tasmania
Sydney
Sydney, the capital of New South Wales, is a vibrant metropolis on the east coast of Australia, known around the globe for its iconic landmarks like the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge. There’s a host of diverse attractions to see, including the famed Bondi Beach, Darling Harbour, and The Rock. A fixer journalist can also provide insights into the city’s arts, culinary, and sports scenes, as well as its fascinating convict history, and introduce you to top Australian personalities and celebrities.
Brisbane
Brisbane is a top spot for shooting outdoor sports events or nature-based documentaries and films. The capital of Queensland is known for its laidback lifestyle and sunny, sub-tropical climate.
Brisbane is a bustling city, with an eclectic mix of galleries, theatres, and great eateries. But, as your dedicated location scout will show you, it also has easy access to nearby attractions like the Gold Coast and its famed Gondwana Rainforest, one of the oldest rainforests in existence, and now a World Heritage-listed site.
Brisbane
Melbourne
Filming in the multicultural city of Melbourne is a dream for many, and as your production coordinator knows, there’s little that can’t be found in this consistently top-rated city. The capital of Victoria, Melbourne is known for its outdoor art scene, beautiful beaches, and many eclectic neighborhoods, all of which will be thoroughly investigated by your location scout. The city is also a hub for major cultural events like the Melbourne International Arts Festival and the Australian Open tennis tournament.
