Production
The title came from the old country saying that when there is enough blue sky to cut out bell bottomed breeches the worst of the storm is over.[4]
It is believed to be the first drama production shot at Garden Island where H.M.A.S. Vendetta, a destroyer, is moored, and also at the Sydney Opera House.[5]
