"This was set in the red heart of Australia & the set was basically a sandy billabong. It followed Serpents Fall in the Studio where the desert sand was yellow. We spent tech week dying the sand red every night and then repairing the colour during the season. " Correspondence to the AusStage Production Manager from Robert Taylor.
