MacDonald had previously made a film called '' The Unsleeping Eye'' (1928) in Papua, which was a commercial success. He reused many cast and crew on this film, including his wife, actor Wendy Osborne. Scenes were shot at an old mining camp in Chillagoe with an aboriginal corroboree staged in the Mungana Caves nearby. Shooting was finished by September 1928.Release
The film was released in England but not Australia, although it did have some screenings in 1932.References
