As we did previously with 'The Dressmaker' posts, have endeavoured to find some of the locations used in the filming of 'The Dry'

|
The opening shots of the approach to Kiewarra are from along the Birchip-Rainbow Rd coming into Beulah from Beulah East, with all the GEB silos & stacks, and the hay-bale storage.
 |
St Joseph's
|
The funeral was shot in Banyena, at St
Joseph’s Catholic Church where the mourners really do walk down the approach lane to the Banyena Hall for the Wake.

The Cemetery is the Beulah Cemetery, like the opening scene, on the Birchip-Rainbow road to Beulah East.

The old Hopetoun Primary School building
|
The schools are both in Hopetoun - the Primary school scenes at the old Primary School, and the High School photos at the P-12 College.

Minyip's Club Hotel
|
There are a few hotels - the 2-storey red-brick Hotel with the rooms upstairs is the Club Hotel in Minyip, previously well-known from when it figured in the Flying Doctors tv-series. The hotel in the Kiewarra street scenes is the Victoria Hotel at Beulah. The interior dining room shots look a lot like the dining room of Royal Mail Hotel in Warracknabeal (unconfirmed).

The salt pan or lake where Luke's body is found is the salt depression on the old Pearce land adjacent to the Dimboola-Rainbow road, just where the road has a couple of sweeping bends as it crosses the railway line, north of Jeparit.
