Have you watched The Survivors on Netflix? This wild Australian crime show has me hooked! Kieran Elliott returns to his spooky hometown of Evelyn Bay 15 years after his brother and two others were killed in a crazy storm. Then, bam, another girl’s body washes up on the ocean. Secrets start to come out and it’s all very intense. But who’s the real star? The amazing locations they filmed it in!
Let’s take a look at where this epic show came to life.
It’s All Down Under in Australia
They shot the entire thing in Australia, mostly in Tasmania and Melbourne. Filming began in December 2023 and ended in April 2024. These locations aren’t just random — they make the show scary and real. Where are you ready to watch it?
Greater Hobart: The Fake Evelyn Bay
So, Evelyn Bay isn’t a real town—it’s made up! They filmed it in Hobart, the capital of Tasmania. It’s big but feels empty, which fits perfectly with the show’s lonely atmosphere.
They probably used the studio there for some of the more domestic stuff, like Kieran’s house. Hobart has some great places like Salamanca Place and a quirky art museum.
Oh, and they got to Margate nearby! There’s this chill park called Drew Point Bicentennial Park with barbecues and a playground.
My cousin once took her dog there and it’s so cute!
Eaglehawk Neck: Cliffs That Scream Drama
For the wild outdoor shots, they went to Eaglehawk Neck. It’s a small town on the east coast of Tasmania with crazy cliffs and crashing waves.
Show boss Tony Ayres said it was perfect because it felt dangerous—like a storm started it all.
Picture this: you’re standing there, wind in your hair, looking out over Devil’s Kitchen or Tasman National Park. It’s so epic that you’ll want to visit just to take pictures or climb some rocks!
Freycinet Peninsula: Mystery Meets Beauty
They also found the Freycinet Peninsula in a national park. It has clear water, rocky beaches, and views of the Hazards Mountains that will blow your mind.
Tony said the cliffs and the ocean make everything feel tense—like something bad is going to happen.
I’m sure they filmed a stormy flashback here! Fun fact: It’s Tasmania’s oldest park, and people struggle to keep it clean. It really adds to the eerie mood of the show.
Melbourne: Where the Magic Happens
Then there’s Melbourne! They used Docklands Studios for the ocean scenes. It has a large stage and water holes—perfect for faking waves.
They also have these giant screens, so maybe they wanted to make the fake backgrounds look real.
After filming, they edited everything there. Other shows like Clickbait also used the space. My friend Sam says Melbourne’s food scene is unreal – I wish I could tag along with the crew!
What These Spots Rock
These places aren’t just beautiful – they make the story pop! The cliffs and ocean scream danger and the Tasmanian atmosphere feels so real.
It’s as if these places are telling a story with Kieran. Plus, Tasmania has the cleanest air ever – perfect for nighttime photos that look magical.
A little extra gossip
Here’s something weird: My friend Jake swears he saw a film crew near Eaglehawk Neck last year.
He was fishing with his dad and they saw lights and cameras by the cliffs.
He didn’t know it was The Survivors at the time, but now he’s obsessed with the show! Plus, Tasmania is a stargazing hotspot – bet the night scenes were lit up.
Time to indulge in some dreamland, right?
So, next time you watch ‘The Survivors’, check out the quiet streets of Hobart, the crazy cliffs of Eaglehawk Neck and the beaches of Freycinet. It’s all in Tasmania, with a touch of Melbourne’s magic.
I want to get on a plane and explore! What do you think – are you ready to see these places for yourself?
