Talk:We Can Be Heroes: Finding the Australian of the Year

message: The article is ok, but we don't learn anything we could have learned simply by watching the show. It would be good if someone in the know could add some other interesting information, such as who is Sonali in real life? What was the real location of the "Dunt" segments? What did Ja'mie use to stuff her bra? And so on. (Matt)
Needs to be updated with it's success: 2006 Logies "Comedy of the Year" (?) and Best new talent for Chris Lilley.
I'd also like to know about whether Indigeridoo actually played at the university of melbourne. Is there actually a society called Chisoc as well? --Noftus 14:27, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Wecanbeheros.jpg

message: Okay guys, I've done a fair bit of snooping and have found out the following information. I just haven't put it in the article because I'm not exactly sure what to call it. As you may have guessed, it was filmed entirely in Victoria, almost entirely within Melbourne.
Dunt:
The Sims family farm is located near Little River, Victoria (also used in Mad Max and is also in the miniseries The Pacific. Filming just finished there).
The railway station is in Lara, the next town south along Princes Highway to Geelong. That's also the location of the high street (general store, Ezy Video etc.) that Nathan terrorises with his bottle penis.
Phil Olivetti:
I'm not entirely sure where the house is, but I know Phil's house is located somewhere near/in Tullamarine and that it's very close to the airport. That's about it. I'm also pretty sure the location for the miniseries film set with Vince Colosimo in the final episode is the Caribbean Gardens and Market in east Melbourne.
Ja'mie:
I know Ja'mie's house is somewhere in Bayside (or perhaps Kingston, I think). Again, couldn't tell you exactly where. That's also quite close to the school in Summer Heights High. I'm not sure what Hilford is but I've got a good idea so I'll update you when I find out.
Ricky:
That is the Union Theatre at the University of Melbourne. I'm not sure where his house is, but I think it's in the eastern suburbs (Glen Eira). 
Pat:
I'm pretty sure (by process of elimination) that Monash is the location of Pat's house. Again, I could be wrong. The news footage of Pat rolling is along Port Phillip right near the city centre.
Canberra:
As many people have said, the awards ceremony in Canberra is Federation Square in Melbourne.
Intro:
The intro bits are a bit hard to piece together. The bit with the ballet dancer is in the National Theatre in St Kilda, the swimmer is at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre and the zoo keeper with the wombat is at the Melbourne Zoo. The cricket player is at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
All of this info was gleaned through research and from using the "thanks to" bit during the credits. Here's the full list, although the locations are based on city councils and not neighbourhoods or anything (ie. they didn't film in Wyndham or Geelong, but since those are the authorities that cover Little River/Lara, that's what they list):
--National Theatre, St Kilda
--Melbourne Zoo
--Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre
--Melbourne Cricket Ground
--Kingston
--Glen Eira
--Port Phillip
--Bayside
--Monash
--Wyndham
--Geelong
--Federation Square
--Caribbean Gardens and Market
Hope that helps a bit in unlocking the mystery! Haku8645 (talk) 12:16, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
