Wirrawee Community Site
An interesting website popped up seemingly overnight…
…a must-see for anyone driving along the Heron River. A beautiful town centre, friendly people and surrounded by some amazing natural scenery. We’ll definitely be back! – Stuart Beattie
On a related note, keep an eye on The Fix today for the first look at the theatrical poster for Tomorrow: When The War Began and also over the weekend, for an exclusive interview with Caitlin Stasey about Tomorrow.
Fantastic news Nick, thank you! can’t wait to see the theatrical poster!
The Heron bridge is exactly how I’ve pictured it and the Showground looks fantastic!

yeah it is fully hectic bro, heccas
and……
go the doggies!!!:)
This is a great little gimmick for the movie, absolutely love it.
is it a gimmick?
totally agree with you the movie is so awesome
Haha! I love it! Looks just like an underdone small town website! Kudos to Paramount for setting it up. Had a lot of fun looking at it and seeing some of the set.
Just noticed the restaraunt in Wirawee is Thai, not Chinese. Is it possible that Lee is now Thai instead? As it is the only Asian restaraunt on the website, I can’t help but suspect a minor character change in Lee.
Lee has always been Thai/Vietnamese, so unless you have the only copy of the book where he’s Chinese, you must have just read it wrong.
Also, some information on Raymond Terrace, the town that was converted to Wirrawee : http://collections.ncc.nsw.gov.au/keemu/pages/nrm/Display.php?irn=60666&QueryPage=%2Fkeemu%2Fpages%2Fnrm%2Findex.htm
cool awesome thanks!
interesting website, not sure i want to give them all that personal info for the newsetter though. :p
Raymond Terrace is like 10 minutes from my house! And i once worked at that cinema! I was so excited that it was filmed there! So cool!
Wow! I would die of excitement! Lucky you! =D
i thought they used Molotov Cocktails in the second book not the first
hahahhaa very cool
i love the: “© 2010 Screen Australia and Omnilab Media Pty Limited.” at the bottom 
i almost believed it 
Does anyone know where the bridge in the picture on the site is actually located? It looks almost exactly the same as the Morpeth Bridge which is located about 15 minutes from Raymond Terrace, except that there is slightly different support structures underneath. I’m wondering if there is another bridge close by in Raymond Terrace that is similar to the one in Morpeth.
Bridge is over the Hunter River at Luskintyre. Turn off the New England Highway north end of Lochinvar. The transformation to the structure was interesting – they spared no cost. Overnight shooting, the flood lights, the explosions all went on till wee hours. Residents really didn’t mind.
i really wat to meet the actors and actress’ of this show i cant get the movie or the books out of my head its amazing hoow much afect it has on me i mean i want to meet them or be in the movie u no its the best movie eva xx
