Road closed due to filming

20 March 2008 | Skidbladnir

I received this in my inbox this afternoon as a staff notice.

“All National Office Staff,

A film production company has approval to film on Athllon Drive, immediately adjacent to Tuggeranong Office Park (where they store most of FaHCSIA and Centrelink), on Good Friday, 21 March 2008 between 9am and 2pm. The filming will require the closure of Athllon Drive between Pitman and (North) Reed Streets Tuggeranong.

So, who’s the local Filmmaker\TV group doing filming, whats being filmed, and what can we see it in?

I have a sore ankle from trying to walk in two different directions whilst going down some stairs at a very early hour this morning on my way to the gym.

As a long time poster to the Riot-ACT, I hope you all feel very sorry for me vis a vie the injury.

So did you have to pay for the road-closure then Kermit? What does that set you back?

Apparently I was in a movie with Robert Helpmann, Christopher Pate and Gerard Kennedy, but it was the same year I discovered Jack Daniels so I don’t remember much about it….

Heya Ozhair,
Yeah I’ll be there too.
Congrats again on the wins at LCA.

Ozhair1:43 pm 20 Mar 08

You want somebody famous? Well, I’ll be there! 🙂 You may remember me from such films as…. well… ummm… Well I did appear in a short film with Bud Tingwell once…

Ozhair1:42 pm 20 Mar 08

Hehehe, kermit is correct about the title, at least. Since he seems to also be someone involved with the shoot I won’t say too much more, since I don’t know how much the producers want to let out.

But it’s going to be an interesting weekend… 😉

astrojax12:37 pm 20 Mar 08
