Whats the location of the Docks/Wharf that Aden works at? Is it near to palm Beach?

Brooklyn - its not too far from Palm Beach by water, but around 40 miles by road

The locations there will be some of the next ones that will be put up on the main site.

There's not much to go on other than a road and some hills. But given they were filming at Penrith Lakes the same week (and they tend to group location shoots together), I suspected it was somewhere along the Castlereagh/Old Castlereagh Road, purely on the proximity of the hills - however I don't seem to be able to track it down...so it may not be.....

Thanks Dan, I suspected the same, as I live on a road that comes off Castlereagh Road, and I swear I probably drive past the house that is in the shot about 100 times, and it's driving me mental!!!

I remember you had said they shot at Penrith lakes, so put two and two together.

Cheers

Thanks for that Dan. Thought it was near palm Beach because the backdrops are quite similar to the ones you see at Palm Beach.

Where are the football scenes being filmed?

[Dan F]

Well that particular location is all ready to go up on the site, so I won't 'spoil' it - but its in the Northern Beaches

Thanks Dan

Where were the "Afghanistan" scenes filmed?

[Dan F]

Its most likely that they were filmed in the quarries at Penrith Lakes, considering they were filming there the same week - you can read more about them on Cranebrook's Wiki page - where you'll also see a picture of the bridge that Roman went flying off.

^ If that's the case, using quarries to recreate the sandy landscape of Afghanistan was an excellent idea! Fair play to them! It looked so real, like they had really filmed in the actual location.

Thanks Dan.
