| Much of the filming for Home and Away's many beach shots takes place
on Palm Beach. Palm Beach is situated in the
Northern Beaches, a two hour drive from Sydney (New South
Wales), and can be reached by public transport. The trip on the
bus takes 1:45hr. Filming may occur one at a time or a few at a
time in different spots. Scenes used for filming are the
exterior of the Surf Club, the beach down the path from the Surf
Club and also on the grassy area parallel to the beach. You are
not allowed to interrupt when filming is underway. Only when
filming stops and cast members are free to walk around, can you
approach them. When they have their breaks, they sit at the
tables and you are not allowed to speak to them. Filming does
not take place every day and takes place almost every week. Days
of filming are given on the Friday before.
I went four times to see filming and the episode numbers they
filmed for are below. You can make comparisons by watching the
episodes and checking the photos on the following pages. To see
when the episodes are due to come on air or when it has been
broadcast, refer to the
episode guide. Information is provided at the bottom of each
photo.
Filming takes place at Palm Beach once a week, though not
every week. Filming occurs at the start of the week, so you may
catch them between a Monday and Wednesday.
