:iconnikki6teenplz:: Just another crazy idea *daanton had....

As you know, Jonesy and I (and the rest of the gang) have been finding interesting things that are uniquely Australian, whether it's natural wonders, classic architecture or various other attractions.

Speaking of attractions, this is Pin Oak Court in the Melbourne suburb of Vermont South. A very famous locale indeed, linked to one of Australia's most notable tv shows, the soap opera phenomenon known as "NEIGHBOURS", the lives and times of the neighbours and their families who live or frequent the fictional Ramsay Street, a residential cul-de-sac in the fictional Melbourne suburb of Erinsborough, as well as Erinsborough's other notable places, such as the Erinsborough High school and the Lassiter's complex, which contains the Lassiter's Hotel, Charlie's bar and the coffee shop, Harold's Store.


:iconjen6teenplz:: And let's not forget Grease Monkeys.

:iconnikki6teenplz:: No, can't forget that!

Anyway, Pin Oak Court is the real cul-de-sac that doubles for Ramsay Street. All of the houses featured in the show are real and the residents allow the NEIGHBOURS producers to shoot external scenes in their front and back gardens and, on occasions, in their garages. NEIGHBOURS has been filmed in Pin Oak Court since the series began in 1985 and it has since become popular with tourists. Tours to the cul-de-sac run throughout the year. The interior scenes are filmed at the Global Television studios in Forest Hill, the adjoining suburb in which Pin Oak Court is located.

FYI, three notable actors/actresses from NEIGHBOURS have since gone on to successful music careers: Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan and Natalie Imbruglia.

The street in which Neighbours is filmed was built when the series started on the 10 network in Australia. The first series was done the 7 network, which cancelled the show after only one year.

The people who own the houses in Pin Oak Court have it written into the title for their property that Neighbours can be filmed in their street. The backyard scenes are now filmed at the Global Television studios in Forest Hill. Driving along Hawthorn Road past the studios you can see the sets for the backyards. It looks weird having only the backs of houses built. This has allowed for more backyard scenes to be filmed as before they would have to go into the backyards of the owners to film them.
