I was pretty disappointed with some of the Australian scenes to be honest. Totally non-representative of what Australia looked like in the 1980s, especially the scenes in “Brisbane” (appeared to be shot in a medieval Italian or Spanish city).

Second one unavailable, is it actually The Lodge?
It appears the person deleted the post then posted the photo again. The second link works now. It doesn’t look like The Lodge to me.

Yes, music rights was an issue in regards to the DVD releases of Heartbreak High. That’s why only the series’ shown on Ten have been released and not the ABC series’. Also explains why ABC hasn’t replayed it AFAIK in at least 10 years. Same issues as to why Sweet and Sour was never released either. They don’t want to fork out the money for the rights.
Mind you, I didn’t think I’d see the day Sons and Daughters got released on DVD but here we are.

Looks like we’ve come full circle… Netflix direct is a linear tv channel. Ha.

Which has now led to Netflix commissioning a reboot of Heartbreak High, to debut globally in 2022. The 8-part series will be produced by Fremantle and Dutch company NewBe, which acquired worldwide English-language rights at MIPCOM in October 2019.
Yet another reboot? Can’t they do anything new in Australia these days?
