00:00 So why have you decided to open up Ammerdown to visits?
00:03 - Well, the reason is that a Federation house
00:09 needs attention and it's a source of bringing income in
00:15 to carry out maintenance on the building.
00:21 We're very happy living here
00:28 and we want to stay on living here as long as we can.
00:31 That's the reason.
00:33 - And what was it like having
00:35 while the men are away filming here for three months?
00:38 - It was pretty full on.
00:39 There were up to 70 to 80, 100 people.
00:46 They had their own cafeteria area set up.
00:51 We seemed to be their mustering point.
00:56 Of course, there were 25 locations
00:58 they actually were using in the Central West here.
01:01 Ammerdown being the major one,
01:04 being the family in the stories,
01:09 house where they lived and operated their farm from.
01:16 And it was quite an experience.
01:23 Everything, any changes or something I was informed with
01:28 had to be done immediately.
01:30 I suppose there's a lot of money tied up
01:34 with producing these things.
01:36 And it was quite an experience.
01:41 - Would you do it all over again?
01:44 - I think so.
01:49 There has been a deal of interest
01:54 fed back to me about further filming here.
02:00 Would it be possible?
02:04 Yes, I think my family and I would consider it.
