Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Director had Promised one of the locals Lorna that her and her pink house would appear in the film. By the Time of filming Lorna was in a retirement home, true to her word the director arranged for her cameo next to her pink House and said she could wear anything she wanted so she chose to Pink dress to match her beloved house.
- GoofsToward the end of the film, Jack is traveling northbound on a V-series train and says "he's got to go back". Nikki says to him "then go", he moves to get off the train and the next shot shows him standing at Wondabyne Station. Problem is, the background footage has already depicted the train having gone past the station (you can see the stone carvings - they are NORTH of the station) and also the V-Series trains (silver) don't actually stop at Wondabyne. You need to be traveling on the OSCARs (grey with yellow doors) for them to actually stop at Wondabyne.

Featured review
Oyster Farmer is a very enjoyable romantic comedy, one of the best I've seen for a while.
Why is it so good? The plot is entertaining, well thought out and moves at a rapid pace - I didn't detect any real lulls. The characters are what you'd expect of a working class rural Australian community - warts and all. I didn't recognise any of the actors from other films but I think they did a great job of getting the viewer into the story. In addition I laughed out loud a number of times - not something that happens too often!!
I really enjoyed the aerial shots of the Hawkesbury River, very relaxing and reminding me of a holiday I once spent in the region.
Overall Oyster Farmer is a real gem.
