Scene: Dylan rides his bike under rail bridge (08:25):
The markings suggest the train on the overpass (@ 08:32) is the Kalgoorlie - Perth 'Prospector' train- http://www.panoramio.com/photo/9047638

Found the overpass:
31°38'47.34" S 116°40'19.47" E
Northam, WA, Australia.
It is in a riverbank area called Enright Park,
near the East Northam Railway Station, and 45 miles from Clive's tree.
Compare the pic below to the bridge structure of 8:32. The terrain is appropriate also.

They would have been entering the area and filming near the corner of Clarke St. and Kennedy St., I believe.

For the dirt road scenes on the trip to Sydney in the Ford Ranchero(?), anyone know for sure where the dirt roads were?
