REEL STREETS OF MELBOURNE - EPISODE 8
In 2017 the house in the film "The Castle" was sold and transported to Beechworth, Victoria. I explore the locations of this film leading me to the inner suburbs of Melbourne, Strathmore (not Strathearn as I incorrectly call it), This is actually my attempt at a joke.
Sometimes when you're in a suburb your phone will tell you you're in a different suburb due to your phone reaching another tower. That's the joke I'm making... never mind.
Bonnie Doon, Canberra and hopefully Beechworth to find where the Kerrigan house was moved to.
"The Castle" was released in 1997 and has become the most quotable Australian film ever made.
The film is owned by Working Dog Productions

Well for what it’s worth, my dad (92 now ) is confident that this house is one a couple he built in that street.. he was a Chippy and built many houses in that area . We talked about it and google mapped it and he reckons it was one of his. Not that it’s a claim to fame. He also built the giveaway house for the first home show in Melbourne, right underneath the dome in the old exhibition building. That I do have photos of.

If you don,t like House Reno,s Cooking Shows, or Talent Shows. You won,t find much else to watch now except for the Ads which run as long as the shows your watching. Thankfully i can watch RU-vid and still watch ads but only for the 5 seconds it takes for the Skip This Ad becomes available to click on, LOL.
