00:00Before giving serious consideration to filming here, producers of an upcoming
00:05Hollywood blockbuster needed assurances that even during drought, the falls would
00:12still flow.
00:18Water tumbling off the falls was essential for the film. John Hiles, owner
00:25of the Ginninderra Falls property hatched the perfect plan in case of such
00:31a scenario to let water out of an historic weir on the Ginninderra Creek
00:40just upstream from the top of the falls. The producers naturally requested a
00:46demonstration, so earlier this week John's son Charlie carefully prized open
00:51the weir while John scurried downstream to film the change in flow over the
00:56falls. And bingo, it worked. Sure it wasn't quite the torrent like the 2012
01:09flood, but the change in flow definitely impressed the producers. Filming is set
01:21to commence next year.
