Storm Boy

Today, the famous area where this film was mostly made, South Australia's wetlands and sand dunes district known as the Coorong, is under threat due to low water levels due to the water-ravished Murray River. The region is a habitat for migratory birds, the southern tip of it becoming highly saline which environmental experts are saying is having an effect on various pelican and bird populations.

When Tom and Mike and Fingerbone return to the Coorong as the boat, "Tern" leaves Goolwa harbour, they are not towing Mike's raft but when they arrive back at the jetty, they are.

A half-hour edited shortened version of the feature film exists running approximately about thirty-two minutes.
