'If one should imagine a map of production locations for dive films or films set on tropical islands
since the 1960s, it would likely show a trend towards the southern hemisphere and more recently
towards Queensland. Creative industries development in Queensland has been stimulated partly by
state bodies, namely the Pacific Film and Television Commission, and Screen Queensland; and the
presence of Warner Roadshow Studios on the Gold Coast, and filmmakers have also been attracted
more recently by production offsets from Screen Australia. There is dim connection to the classical
geography of the Antipodes as the underside of the world and a place of monsters.' (Author's introduction)
