- TriviaGil Brealey has said of this documentary in a 2012 interview: "Wonderful film, by a person that I again knew - they used to accuse me of using my friends; well, all the people I knew who were good at making films were my friends - and David Corke [David G. Corke], he made it for us, and I supervised production on it. We had the first screening for the Department of the Environment [South Australian Department of Environment and Conservation]....They had commissioned it, yes, and were paying for it. We had this screening lined up in about April/May the following year, and I'm sitting in my office waiting for them to arrive and in comes Peter Ward. And I said, 'Oh, you're here for the screening of our first film, are you?' And he looked at me and suddenly did a double-take and said, 'Yes. Yes. Yes.' (laughs) He watched the film with the Department, and it was very successful screening; the Department of Environment were delighted with it. We sold it to Channel Seven for quite a lot of money - got more money back than it cost, which, for a state-made film, was pretty remarkable. It was made for television. We owned the copyright on all films we made and kept all funds that they were sold for."
