Western Australia is not just an extraordinary location for screen production: it is also home to a number of resources, facilities and film friendly initiatives that will make seeing your project come to life seamless.
Dongara – Port Denison is a cray-fishing town of approximately 3,700 residents in the Mid West region of Western Australia.
Its local government area is the Shire of Irwin and it is located 360 kilometers north of Perth on the Indian Ocean coast near the mouth of the Irwin River.
The Dongara – Port Denison region offers a rich diversity of locations, making it the perfect outdoor studio!
