I have not long gone back from Texas Tyler to be precised.

I had a fine catch up with some old friends talking about the past. However one of them moved from Canada year's ago to Tyler for a great job.

He loved the Aussie show Prisoner aka Prisoner of Cell Block H aka Caged in Canada.

He even enjoys the fantastic current remake Wentworth Prison. He is going to do a tour in Oz to live his dream.

However he wants to know if there is a fan tour he can partake in or if he can visit some filiming location's from either era ?

I loved Prisoner Cell Block H and Hedda knows all about the Freak so I bet can help.

I never met the cast, however though I have heard some great things though. One of them was the late Carol Burns. She was a very nice lady but was no nonsense,she liked things to be perfect even appointments had be started on time.

I only ever catch occasional episodes of Wentworth etc but I think it's fantastic stuff.

But it's all filmed in a studio so there is no tour for that.

But certainly Home and Away has capitalised on it's success and has, I believe, a very good official tour (there are others) that takes groups to "Summer Bay" which are actually a couple of Northern Sydney beaches : Whale Beach (where the pianist Winifred Atwell lived) and Palm Beach.

And it's actually a very nice scenic drive that takes you over the Harbour Bridge with lots to see on the way.
I think they even have the cafe that appears in every scene set up for tourists.
The rest of the show is filmed in nearby studios which are a bit out of the way and where Skippy was filmed decades ago.

#I went to Madame Tussauds in Sydney once and as always some waxworks are better than others but this one is the most lifelike I have ever seen in any of the Tussauds. Which is the real person?

Thank you Very much, I have forwarded him the link. His wife will definitely enjoy that.

Not a bad lad are you.
