publisher blurb: Did you know that because baby pigs grow at an alarming rate, 48 pigs were used for the filming of Babe? Or that the director of Muriel's Wedding had to fly to Europe to convince ABBA to give permission for their songs to feature in the film? Or that the town of Poowong in South Gippsland was selected for the premier of Kenny? Reel Locations: The Ultimate Guide to Aussie Films is a book for anyone with an interest in Australian films - and for those wanting to relive the magic that was created.

The brief for this was to 'freshen it up' for a new edition. This meant extensive fact checking of all tourist information centre details (addresses, phone numbers, websites) as well as the lists of main attractions and places of interest. While checking/updating and 'freshening' the descriptive text, I pretty much rewrote it. We replaced about 75% of the photos and had to mark up and check map corrections for POI points.

The third in the series, my role involved manuscript collation, image selection, working closely with the author and the designers. The "real" Australia does not lie at the end of a comfortable sealed road, but rather at the end of all those unsealed roads leading to an endless number of perfect destinations. This guide is another 'must have' in the Gregory's 4WD series: it will help you plan anything from a short getaway near a major urban centre to a longer 4WD holiday at the farthest corner of the land.
