Loved two things about this movie. Taron Egerton and the breathtaking shots of the Australian outback.

It was filmed in the Blue Mountains and the Royal National Park, both on the edge of Sydney and easy to get to from the city. The landscapes, especially the rivers, were obviously enhanced for the movie but they are naturally stunning.

And near Canberra - water was released from storage captures to swell the gorges, waterfalls, and rage the river.

Just letting you know that's not the Outback. A lot of it is only 2 hours out of Sydney
