Move was made near Port Douglas on the northern queensland coast of Australia. Some scenes were also shot in Solomon Islands.

I was on the set in about July last year - all the planes were mock-ups as you suggested but 1 or 2 real planes were supposed to have been flown in from somewhere. Plenty of Jeeps and Studies on the set - these all came up for sale just after the movie was completed. The airstrip was actually made on one of my clients cane farms. I think they paid him a packet to allow them to move onto his land for so long.
