The first feature film directed by an Australian Aboriginal woman.
This film was shot in only four locations: Mentmore House Studios in Sydney, Bribie Island in Queensland, Charleville in Queensland, and sugarcane fields in northern New South Wales.
Netball is a ball sport played primarily in countries of the Commonwealth and has similarities to basketball. A netball team consists of seven players.
There are posters for three movies, one called "Burma Assault", another called "Murieta!", while the other title is not clearly visible. Both "Burma Assault" and "Murieta!" appear to be fictional titles.
In the scene in the cinema, the little balls bouncing noisily across the floor are Jaffas, a chocolate-centred sweet. In Australian culture, rolling Jaffas down the aisles at a cinema in the days before carpeted steps was a prank intended to disturb cinema viewing.
