Australia offers the film-maker a broad canvas of location possibilities; hundred of kilometers of unspoilt coastline, mountain ranges and picturesque mountain villages, sand dunes, lush northern rainforests, even the world’s most beautiful coral reef, are all within easy reach.  Productions have the choice of locations as varied as the post-apocalyptic desert seen in George Miller’s Mad Max, or the rolling green meadows re-created for the blockbuster Babe

Sydney is a sophisticated urban centre which can adapt to futuristic generic cities such as Dark City and The Matrix or star itself as in Mission: Impossible 2 where Tom Cruise and director John Woo featured the city as an integral part of the film.

The city enjoys a mix of colonial architecture, luxury waterfront properties, soaring glass and steel skylines, a bustling Chinatown, alternative ‘grunge’ quarters, a stock broking district, plus a harbour of unbelievable diversity with a waterside casino and entertainment development at its heart.

Sydney has a skilled network of creative and technical freelance crews, equipment suppliers and merchants, all familiar with the requirements of the industry.  Experienced freight forwarders, couriers, travel and car rental companies and limousine drivers are all easily accessed.
