Locations are available in Centennial Park, Moore Park and Queens Park, including E.S. Marks Athletic Stadium and the Centennial Parklands Equestrian Centre. The diversity of the landscapes within Centennial Park range from carefully tended garden beds to relatively wild places with long grass and native trees and thickly wooded areas. A superb Victorian iron picket fence with several gateways consisting of ornate sandstone pillars encloses the entire park. Pine Grove - This superb Pine forest is a sought after location. It has been used for an aircraft crash scene and a saffron trail through an Asian forest. This versatile location allows the freedom to create the feel of a forest anywhere on the globe. Sandstone Ridge - This natural sandstone ridge with rocky outcrops surrounded by semi-wild vegetation creates a sense of wilderness close to the heart of the city. This secluded area provides filmmakers with the opportunity to set a scene that could be anywhere in Australia. Rose Garden - This formal rose garden with a Victorian feel is surrounded by palm trees and ponds evoking an atmosphere of romance and beauty. Heritage features - The Parklands contain historically significant landscapes, sites, bridges, and monuments such as the Federation Pavilion and historic statues and remnants of European settlement from the earliest times. The plantings of the Parklands remain a notable example of Victorian landscaping in Australia. E.S. Marks Athletic Stadium - A good class rekortan athletics track with an 8 lane track and 10 lane straight. Field event facilities are available. There is a covered stand which seats up to 2000 people and uncovered tiered seating for 3000 people. Centennial Parklands Equestrian Centre - For productions that include horses, the Centennial Parklands Equestrian Centre (next door to Centennial Park at the former Moore Park showgrounds) is the ideal environment. Facilities include a 3.6 kilometre equestrian track which circles the Centennial Park, historic stable pavilions, a huge covered dressage arena and a separate equestrian ground. Horses are available for hire at the Equestrian Centre. Snake Bank - For a tropical or Asian feel this location provides a palm tree-lined track surrounding a large pond which could be any watercourse you wish to create. Paperbark Grove - A splendid vista of Melaleuca trees stretching for 250 metres. Lachlan Swamp - An enchanted forest of Paperbarks and She-oaks with a magical atmosphere. This location could be anywhere from Kakadu to Louisiana. Ponds - Centennial Park contains 12 ponds each with its own unique character. Busby's Pond has a reed fringed shore, water lilies and large islands that are home to nesting birds. Duck Pond is home to more than 15 species of birds including Black Swans, Egrets and Herons. Amphitheatre - This natural amphitheatre with sandstone steps has views of Federation Valley and Botany Bay, right through to the Royal National Park. Grand Drive - Grand Drive is the main route that circles around the inside of Centennial Park. This stately drive is lined by an avenue of trees such as Port Jackson Figs, Holm Oaks and Norfolk Island Pines. Queens Park - Coral trees planted along the Queens Park perimeter look spectacular when they flower from late winter to early spring. Majestic specimens of Moreton Bay Figs are also contained within the park, along with wild grassy areas. Vantage Points - Mount Steele allows a view of a natural landscape uninterrupted by buildings. Reservoir Number 1 in Centennial Park and the Carrington Road boundary of Queens Park both have sweeping vistas of the Sydney Basin, some extending as far south as Robertson on a clear day.

Harbourside and Historic Locations The Harbour Trust manages seven lands around Sydney Harbour, including several former Defence bases. Most of the locations incorporate buildings and spaces in quiet locations that are currently vacant while the Harbour Trust plans their future use. North Head Artillery School, Manly The remarkable parade ground of the Artillery School is defined by simple Art Deco buildings amongst wild bushland that overlooks the harbour. There are barracks accommodation blocks, various institutional buildings with extensive kitchens, three mess halls, a ballroom, a gymnasium, cells, an oval and large vacant sheds. One of the largest sheds on the site, the Gun Park shed, has recently been upgraded to suit small scale studio work. In a very quiet location, the clear span shed has approximate dimensions of 28x18 metres, with a clearance of 5 metres to the side walls and 6.75 metres at the apex. The shed provides excellent access with full-height sliding panel doors with a width of approximately 14 metres on opposite sides and a hardstand area of approximately 4,500 sqm adjacent. Chowder Bay, Mosman Established as the submarine mining depot in the 1890s, Chowder Bay contains a number of historic buildings nestled around the water including a boatshed, a mine store of stone construction and a wharf. Later additions include barracks, classrooms, a lecture theatre, mess hall and offices. 30 Terminal and 10 Terminal, Mosman Former transport depots for the army, these locations offer a wide range of buildings from large sheds through to small timber barracks, huts, and offices. The view of the harbour from 30 Terminal is magnificent. School of Pacific Administration, Mosman The school consists of a cluster of weatherboard buildings connected by undercover walkways and surrounded by Bougainvillea vines and palms. Training Command, Mosman The former army base comprises a number of simple clad buildings incorporating offices, meeting rooms and kitchens. Other features of the site include underground tunnels and a large parade ground with expansive views of the harbour. Woolwich Dock Woolwich Dock extends for nearly three hundred metres in length, cut directly into the sandstone cliff face. The dock and surrounding area has been developed for maritime industrial use and includes large workshops as well as more recent Army buildings. Woolwich Dock is currently leased out to consortium Murlan Noakes: 9925 0306. Cockatoo Island (and Snapper Island) The island contains remains of a convict prison, houses dating to the 1840s, immense workshop spaces, the historic pumphouse and chimney, two dry docks and many more locations all on one island. There are endless possibilities for filming on Cockatoo Island and the Harbour Trust is looking closely at the possibility of long-term filming facilities for the island. Macquarie Lighthouse, Vaucluse Access for filming inside the lighthouse is limited as the light still operates and is leased by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority. The grounds provide a large open space with dramatic views up and down the coast with the lighthouse as a great backdrop. The former Marine Biological Station, Watsons Bay Built at the southern end of Camp Cove in 1881, this timber house with sandstone foundations is a good example of practical colonial architecture. It contains pressed metal walls and ornate fireplaces but requires considerable conservation work. From the house, there are magnificent views over Camp Cove Beach and Sydney Harbour. The FMBS is now privately leased, but the Trust retains a park adjacent.

Roads and Maritime Services (NSW) Filming & Video Policy Statement for Major NSW Roads and Film Shoot Application is available on their website. http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/trafficinformation/downloads/filming_application_pack.pdf Policy Statement: The RMS is the New South Wales State Government agency responsible for management of traffic and safety on the state's road network. The RMS is supportive of special uses of the road network (such as by the film industry) provided that impacts on traffic flow can be appropriately managed and public safety not compromised. Scope of RMS Interest: In NSW there is a hierarchy of roads ranging from major interstate and regional transport routes, to roads carrying only local traffic. The RMS is responsible for managing State Roads and local government (councils) are responsible for managing regional and local roads. Advice on the classification of roads can be obtained from the contact provided or from local councils. As a rule of thumb, State Roads are the more heavily trafficked urban roads, and rural freeways and highways for the transportation of people and goods. Approval for lane or total road closures of State Roads is a matter for the RMS. However, separate council and police approval for any major film industry activity or special event is mandatory, as councils and police have broader responsibilities to the community to consider. The RMS would involve councils and the Police Service in consideration of any significant road closures. Companies seeking to use the ANZAC Bridge should also ensure that they comply with the requirement of the NSW Premier's department. The RMS manages the traffic signal network on all types of roads and the RMS must be involved in considering and implementing proposals that require modifications to traffic signal operation. The RMS is also responsible for issuing special vehicle permits for over-dimension loads, which are often required by the film industry. Accordingly the RMS may allow filming/ videoing and photography shoots in or on its assets or roads in assistance with the Guidelines for Film Shoots on Major NSW Roads which are available on the net. Contact the RMS for filming on the roadway, pedestrian lane and cycleway of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Contact BridgeClimb for enquiries that involve climbing the bridge.
