This is not how it was for sure (outside the waves).
Good camera work. Shot in some of the richest parts of Sydney metro. Sure hard to look ugly. Will certainly awaken dreaming now that it is showing in USA market (sorry, you cannot afford to live there), Tourism Board of Australia will like it.
2020s casting certainly has certain dose of amnesia.
70s population of Australia was quite different from what it is today. It was before influx after Vietnam war, with all the migration restrictions.
Even those OZ-sales pitch series like Neighbours or Home and Away were still quite cleansed, and they were peaking in late 80s and 90s, almost 20 years later.
So, this overdone casting backflip makes it even funnier.
So, sure, enjoy the seascapes, dream of surfing (sans sharks) and endless summer, but this is not how it was.
Nowhere near. It was quite a no-go zone then. Just remember Cronulla riots which happened in this century. Westies not wanted.
Good commercial. For surf gear companies and "picture with koala by Sydney Opera House" tourism.
