After very rare appearances over the last few years, following the
destruction of the real life Jackeroo Ranch in bushfires in 2002,
Summer Bay Caravan Park has recently started to make a fairly regular
showing on screen.
And for those of you who have wondered why Emu's have started appearing
in the Caravan Park, then look no further, as in reality the new
location is one of Sydney's oldest Wildlife Reserves.
Waratah
Park Earth Sanctuary is actually an already famous location in
Australian television, being the very place where the classic 'Skippy
the Bush Kangaroo' series was filmed.
The park still has many of
its original features from the series, including the Ranger
Headquarters and descendants of the famous kangaroo herself.
Since
Home and Away started using it, a number of bush scenes have also been
filmed around the park, including Johnny and Sam's meetings. However
currently the Park is closed to the public, and has been for at least 9
months, whilst renovation works are carried out. Hence why it is the
perfect place for filming at the moment.
Keep an eye on the Park's
website for future information.
