Any Mad Max fans here? Went to some of the filming locations...

[TEMPA]

Went on a day trip to visit some of the filming locations from the original Mad Max.
27ish years after the movie was made and the sites are still recognisable...

To access some of the sites you have to enter a restricted area. As if a warning sign is enough to keep a Mad Max fan at bay !

The location Roop used to spy on the lovers in the field at the start of the movie

The first time we see Max, working on his Interceptor (the trees weren't there when the movie was filmed)

And my homage to the scene, replacing the Interceptor with my company car, a Toyota Camry...

The bridge where Max runs the bikies off the road and the site of the famous scene of the stuntman getting hit in the back of the head with the bike

The site where Toecutter meets his end, where he and his bike have a head on with a semi trailer

And finally for the true fans, the site of a scene deleted from the original film but can be seen in the opening montage of Mad Max 2 where Max is by a river with an old dead tree behind him

Fascinating - now I need to go watch the movie again to look for those spots!

Where abouts is that? Western Victoria?
