Filming in Port Adelaide, South Australia

The town centre is mostly nineteenth century stone and brick, and a large part of it was declared a State Heritage Area in May 1982.

Colonel William Light picked a tidal creek here for the colony's port in 1836. There was no fresh water and the place was known as Port Misery by 1840. Ground level was later raised about three metres with mud from dredging, which left some early buildings with their ground floors below the street. The Port Admiral Hotel's first ground floor is now part of its basement.

Commercial Road and Lipson Street have most of the surviving shops and warehouses, along with the South Australian Maritime Museum, open since 1986 in a group of old port buildings.

Wool went through the stores further east on Santo Parade until the market collapsed in 1990. They have been empty for decades.

Hart's Mill is at the other end, on a bend of the river. The mill buildings are state heritage listed and the yard in front of them is used for markets and events.

Containerisation cut the dock workforce from the 1960s, and new shopping centres nearby took the retail trade. Shops in the main streets were left empty and boarded up. Trains came back in August 2024, when Port Dock station reopened on Baker Street. The old goods yard beside Lipson Street is the National Railway Museum.

The Waterside Workers Federation laid the foundations of its hall on Nile Street in 1926. A theatre company has used the building since 1992.
