- TriviaProducer Kate Whitbread said of the location recces and scouting for the film: "We were committed to filming in South Australia, so Sandra and I set off in search of an appropriate location. While the Flinders Rangesa re stunning visually, we couldn't find a small town that felt right. On our way back to Victoria, we decided to go through Robe. It is a unique town and a beautiful place to set our story. The nineteenth century sandstone buildings and fierce ocean views are quite remarkable. I had not seen an Australian film located anywhere quite like this before and we wanted the film to show part of Australia not often seen. Also, Sandra wanted the film to have a grey and wintry feel to reflect the mood of the film. So Robe in July was perfect. It was freezing with grey skies and occasional bursts of sunshine, and the ocean was sometimes quiet, sometimes tumultuous. The tall, stately dark green Norfolk Pines created an ominous look to the landscape."

Featured review
In search of the father
The Caterpillar Wish is a 2006 movie that got my attention on YouTube because it's an Australian movie - I've seen a lot of Australian movies and I've enjoyed them all. This was another one of them. The story is interesting and holds your attention right from the start. It was filmed in the city of Robe, located on the Limestone Coast of the state of South Australia. As the film progresses, the relationships between the people who participate in it are slowly revealed, at a similar pace to the city in which it takes place. The unfolding of the film subtly leaves room for possible developments in the story and only one actually comes to fruition. The film could have explored the place and surroundings a little more, considering that the region seems to be quite interesting. It was not very clear to me the choice of the title of the film - I was misled by it. In my opinion a title such as "In search of the father" would have been more appropriate, since that is the basic thread of the story.
