Filming Locations in Sydney
The Sydney Opera House, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the main attraction on the gleaming harbor, and a recurring feature in a number of films that establish Australia as the setting. The Sydney Harbour Bridge, otherwise known as the “Coat Hanger” to locals, provides spectacular shooting opportunities. As far as white sandy beaches, around Sydney there are plenty of options. The iconic Bondi Beach with its great surf, café scene, and cosmopolitan vibe, is less than a 15-minute drive from Sydney. Moreover, the coastal cliffs from Bondi to Coogee provide more cinematic ocean views.
The 309-meter-tall Sydney Tower Eye soars above the skyline and is the city’s tallest building and one of its most iconic landmarks. Big Hollywood films love Sydney, with movies like The Great Gatsby having shot around 40 % of the movie here. One of the most notable locations was ‘The Gatsby Mansion’, which is actually the International College of Management in Manly. In The Matrix, the famous helicopter crash scene took place at the BT tower in Market Street with the skyscrapers in Sydney’s CBD giving off that mega-city feel.
