TRIVIA

Trivia

The one sound that was unexpected for the sound recordist during filming at the international shipping terminal at Port Adelaide was when 100,000 sheep turned up next door on semi-trailers to be loaded onto a ship bound for Libya.

This tele-movie was filmed during late 1985 and ready for release in 1986. The property was purchased by Network Ten for seven years of television rights. However, it was never screened on television, and was released on home video in 1990.

Scripting only began after extensive research through over one thousand pages of court transcripts and hundreds of newspaper reports as well as extensive interviews with many of the participants on the ground and in the air.

This film's opening prologue reads: "Most of what follows actually happened in Australia in 1971 ... an extraordinary set of circumstances in an age of innocence. These events form a unique part of Australian criminal history. After they took place, more severe penalties for offences against aircraft were introduced...".

This film's opening title card reads: "Long Bay Gaol, Sydney, 1980" whilst the film's second title card, seen just after the film's opening sequence, reads: "Nine years earlier... Bondi Beach, Sydney".
