Production
The film was based on a one-act 1896 play by W.J. Lincoln.[7] According to a press account the aim was to "realise the ideal of a bush story which shall be true to actual life in Australia, sweet and natural in its atmosphere, dealing with type of chnracter which are to be found in the wayback country."[3]
It was a film from Amalgamated Pictures and was shot in September 1911 at their studios in St Kilda as well as on location at Healesville, outside Melbourne, and Coranderrk Mission Station.[5][3]
