Note that this movie started filming in March of 1947, but took 18 months to complete because Australia had it's greatest rains in 80 years during the time it was being filmed! After six months on location in Queensland, they moved to a studio in Bondi, to try to escape the rain, but had to return to Queensland for five more months, and then more months in Bondi! It was finally released in Australia in December of 1949 to great success there (it is estimated that 750,000 Australians saw it). Universal Pictures cut the movie by 30 minutes and added an American narration to it, and released it in the U.S. and in England in 1950. It is one of the most important of the early movies filmed in Australia. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: SUPER IMPORTANT!
