Where was Tidelands filmed? The house & all the Filming Locations
Posted by Ra Moon
Tidelands was the first entirely original Australian series on Netflix. Set in the fictional small fishing village of Orphelin Bay, the eight-part supernatural drama is focused on a mysterious group of people, half-humans and half-sirens, called Tidelanders.
Cal McTeer, played by Charlotte Best (Home and Away), is a young woman who returns home when the body of a local fisherman appears on the shore. She will try to uncover the secrets of the town.

Spanish model and actress Elsa Pataky (Chris Thor Hemsworth's wife) is Adrielle, the obscure leader of the tribe.
The rest of the 'Titlanders' troupe (the series contain several nudity scenes), is completed by Madeleine Madden (Picnic at Hanging Rock), Marco Pigossi (seen in the Brazilian hit soup opera Edge of Desire), Mattias Inwood, and Aaron Jakubenko (both from The Shannara Chronicles).
Tidelands was filmed entirely in South East Queensland in Brisbane. Here is our filming locations report of the Down Under series:
The establishing aerial shots of Orphelin Bay are from Dunwich, one of the three small settlements located on North Stradbroke Island.
This is the point where the passenger ferries arrive from the mainland.
Many scenes were recorded in the scenic sandy beaches and wetlands of North Stradbroke Island.
This is a large and touristic island in Redland Bay, with plenty of interesting wild natural lakes and swamps, officially inhabited by only a little more than 2,000 souls.

A lot of filming took place in the Sandgate and Shorncliffe area, including the beautiful Cabbage Tree Creek.
Cal and Augie's house (pictured) is located at 153 Palm Avenue in Shorncliffe.
The fictional town of Lemon Myrtle Cove from the Hearts Down Under movie was also filmed here.

The Devil's Tail bar is the Old Courthouse Restaurant in Raby Bay, Cleveland.
This is a heritage timber and sandstone 19th-century house, with great views of Moreton Bay.

The Orphelin Bay Fishing Cooperative facilities were set in a warehouse by the sea in Steiglitz (pictured).
The cold store exterior, where the drugs change hands in the first episode, is at Thermo Freeze at Hemmant.

The police station is located near Victoria Point Reserve in Masters Avenue (pictured).
Laura's house is located at 24 Rosebank Square in the suburb of Salisbury, in Brisbane.

The beautiful twisty road that appears in several episodes, with the tall tree and sugar mill in the background is at Holmstead Road located between Woongoolba and Steiglitz.
The long and spooky road out to the Tidelanders mansion seen in episode 1 is Rocky Point Road, from the hill near Cecil Zipf park (also in Steiglitz and Woongoolba area).

The graveyard where Colton meets Stolin in episode 5 is Alberton Cemetery at 80 Zipfs Road.
The Padstowe Morgue from episode seven is the Sandgate Senior Citizens Centre on Seymour Street.

The wonderful Tidelanders house looks more like a set than a real old manor.
The interiors were probably built in a soundstage. Screen Queensland confirmed that the production also took place in Mount Cotton and Ransome. Image courtesy of Netflix

ReplyDeleteThat's awesome, thanks a lot!
DeleteI can recommend eating at The Courthouse. Dine in winter and ask to be seated in "the cell", where there's a fireplace and 2 tables-for-two in the original cell.
DeleteI think that a few of the seens are of Byron Bay. The lighthouse is visible and also Julia Rocks, which I have dived a few times.
ReplyDelete"Many scenes where recorded in the scenic sand beaches and wetlands of North Stradbroke Island."
ReplyDelete"where" should be "were".
