10 years ago I patiently listened to a tour bus driver in Brisbane link that city to every major conspiracy theory I'd ever heard of (back-engineered American UFOs are tested out of Amberley IIRC). Apparently the Battle of the Coral Sea happened just over the horizon from Moreton Bay and not up near the Solomons like the history books would have us believe.

When I was on the Indian Pacific in 2008 I did the whistle stop tour of Kalgoorlie. First attraction on the list was the brothels.

Quote:
THE Oscar-winning producer of The King's Speech decided to make his latest movie in Adelaide because it remains mostly unchanged since the 1980s.

The acclaimed new film, Oranges & Sunshine, starring Emily Watson, Hugo Weaving and David Wenham, opened in the United Kingdom yesterday and is slated for a June release here.

It's about the forced deportation of orphans from the UK to Western Australia and much of it is set in Perth from 1986-87 when the scandal was uncovered.

But producer Emile Sherman said the WA city now looked too modern and had too many skyscrapers to be credible.

The 1980s Perth scenes were instead filmed in Adelaide early last year. A shot of the city taken from the Central Market with Westpac House poking above older buildings is labelled "Perth".

"I felt SA was the best place because the film is set in the '80s so we couldn't just go to Perth now," Sherman said in the film's press notes.

I'm 3 hours down the road so meh, I'll do whatever.

Probably have to cross Jeff's cardboard box and newspaper off the list.
