Here is a great annotated list of movies set in Australia, by Leslie who lives there:

Recommended movies filmed in Australia

Thanks Leslie!

Well done Leslie.
This is a comprehensive listing.

Also

The Matrix was filmed in Sydney.

Death in Brunswick is the only other movie in an Australian setting that immediately comes to mind.

And

Lantana

That is a great list Leslie. I'm also a fan of Latana. One of my favorite Aussie movies not on your list is "The Wave". And I have to say I have a soft spot for Muriel's Wedding.

When I was researching the list, which is actually my picks of "scenic" Australian movie spots, I found an article from earlier this year on the Port of Echuca, in Victoria.

I did the road trip down to Echuca a few years back - took a ride on a paddle steamer and toured the beautiful wineries of Rutherglen.

It's a very scenic spot.

Great list, Leslie! Makes one realise how well Australian films compare with the rest of the world.

Since reading it I've had the urge to see "Hotel Sorrento" and "They're a Weird Mob" again. Such enjoyable films.

Also loved "Strictly Ballroom" and "Muriel's Wedding" (especially if you're an ABBA fan)

I sometimes think I am the only person who saw Don's Party, a 1976 movie directed by Bruce Beresford. Takes place in suburban Sydney.

Very funny, very sexy, apparently very tuned into Australian politics, as the party of the title takes place on the night of the 1969 Australian election. Was originally a play.

Don's Party - just you and me then, Marian.

I had that one, with all the other David Williamson plays that have been made into movies in the much longer list I wrote for Pauline back in December/January.

But when I got a chance to revise it in May, I decided to focus primarily on "scenic" movie locations in Australia - so a lot of my original choices (most of the extra ones mentioned here filmed with a lot of interiors) "went west".

I've asked Pauline to change the name for me to reflect the choices/changes I made.
