prestigious film festival. “Premiering The Naked Wanderer in Bunbury has brought the film full circle, with CinefestOZ and the south west region having played essential roles in getting the feature to the big screen,” said Callan. Along with the cast, he would regularly head to the coast to let off steam. “Growing up in Margaret River, I never spent a huge amount of time in Bunbury, but coming up here as an
adult was amazing. The weather was beautiful, and we swam pretty much every day at the beautiful beaches. The people were so friendly.” It’s hoped that the film may create the ‘Drift’ effect, a surfing movie filmed in Margaret River which spawned tours for visitors keen to see where scenes were filmed.

CALLAN DURLIK (Writer / Cameron): “There is so much to down here in the Bunbury Geographe area, so I would say do everything. You can go swimming with dolphins, you can go to wineries, you can hang out and eat lots of food, and even walking up and down the main street of Bunbury and popping into all the different shops. Favourite thing to do: swim at Peppermint Grove Beach ANGUS MCLAREN (Jake): I loved hanging out with the cast and heading out to the Bunbury Farmers Markets. Favourite thing to do: I’m a romantic at heart, I think seeing the sun going down into the water will never get old, it’s amazing. NATASHA LIU BORDIZZO (Valerie): We cooked everyday while filming, using all the amazing
farmer’s markets produce. Favourite thing to do: Buy too many groceries at the Bunbury Farmer’s markets ALAN LITTLE (Eli): I’d highly recommend going out for a bush walk and into the beautiful country, or try one of the awesome bushtucker tours. I feel a real connection and peaceful when I go out into the bush, and know you’ll feel cleansed. I also love Bunbury’s cafes. I love food and there is so much good food here. Favourite thing to do: Bush walks MEGAN HAJJAR (Jasmine): If you’re up for something a bit wacky, you can’t go past Gnomesville! This part of Australia will always have a special place in my heart. Favourite thing to do: Black Diamond Lake – it’s absolutely stunning..
