The Belanglo State Forest, scene of Ivan Milat.s grisly serial murders, is such a forbidding place the producers of the Seven Network.s Catching Milat chose to avoid the area.
Only director Peter Andrikidis and DoP Joe Pickering visited the area south of Berrima but they used a drone camera to film the location.
.It.s such an eerie place I didn.t want to go there when they did the tech survey,. Kerrie Mainwaring, who produced the two-part Shine Australia miniseries with Rory Callaghan, tells If.
Instead, the cast and crew shot the crime drama in Terrey Hills, St Ives, Balmain, Glebe, Wattle Grove and Parramatta.
As the title suggests, the focus is not on Ivan Milat but on the marathon investigation into the 1990s backpacker murders that led to his arrest and conviction.
Callaghan came up with the idea and Shine optioned the book Sins of the...

HBO Asia.s first original co-production with ABC TV, Serangoon Road, promises to be one of the biggest mini-series to hit Australia, although recreating the action-packed streets of 1960s Singapore came at a steep price.
Production was shut down for several weeks when a stunt involving lead Australian actor Don Hany went horribly wrong.
.He was going too fast and he grabbed the guy too high and missed the mat and went onto the cement and dislocated his arm... the tendon ripped off and he chipped the bone,. director Peter Andrikidis says..
.That was in Indonesia so we had to race him to hospital in Singapore, obviously to get him on the ferry. So we were shut down for about two months until he got better because it.s a big action series . there.s quite a bit of action in it..
