 In season one, the town of Byron Bay was mostly used as the real-life analogue of the fictional Broken Bay; for season two, additional locations incorporated into the "Broken Bay" streetscape included other towns with a noted "hippy vibe" in the Northern Rivers region of northern New South Wales, notably Nimbin and Mullumbimby.The run-down, fictional "Far Out East" resort where much of the action is set was a specially constructed set on the site of the future Byron Beach Resort situated on Belongil Beach, Byron Bay.The inspiration for the "Far Out East" concept was stated to be in part from former backpacker accommodation associated with the old Piggery in Byron Bay.
