About Barwon Heads
In 1959 the closing scenes of the film “On the Beach”, based on a Neville Shute novel about the end of the world, were filmed in Barwon Heads. For the next 40 years Barwon Heads was just another sleepy seaside holiday destination until it was used as the location for the hugely successful ABC-TV series “Sea Change”. It became a place where people wanted to go to check out the television locations; the seaside Ramsay St. In the past decade Barwon Heads has become subject to what is colloquially known in some parts of Australia as the 'sea change effect'. Since the “Sea Change” television series first aired in 1998 there has been a significant increase in tourism and real estate sales in Barwon Heads and its sister town, Ocean Grove, on the other side of the Barwon River.
