The models and crew stayed at the comfortable Horizon Resort at Mission Beach, but it felt like the whole region had chipped in to help us out with locations, transport, THE ENCHANTING BUT SPOOKY PARONELLA PARKentertainment and props etc.. We were taken to locations that just can't be described, such as the enchanting (and a little spooky) Paronella Park where the crew actually reported strange phenomena, such as electronic equipment malfunctioning and other weird stuff. (Or maybe it had something to do with the previous night's X-files episode...?).

ILONA BEING PHOTOGRAPHED AT PARONELLA PARKAnyway, the place has hosted numerous film and TV shoots including "Sniper" with Tom Berenger and the feature "Traps". We liked it so much we shot four girls there - Ilona, Sharee, Leah and Sasha. It is definitely worth a visit. Check out their web site at www.paronellapark.com.au but remember to come back!

KEITH AND THE GIRLS ONBOARD ACHILLES IIIWe also had the pleasure of shooting onboard Keith Williams' luxury yacht Achilles III. Not a bad little runabout for weekend fishing trips to say..Fiji or Hawaii. Unfortunately, it was extremely windy on the day, so there wasn't a lot of sunbathing going on up on deck. Nor did we jump into the outside spa. The weather also meant we missed out on playing with the jet-skis or the other great "toys" that come with the floating palace.

IS IT THE SHERATON? NO IT'S ACHILLES IIIThen again, who cares when you can lounge around inside in five star luxury and even stretch out in the spacious double bed in the Master State Room? You only had to close you eyes for a moment and you could hear Robin Leach talking about "champagne wishes and caviar dreams".

THE FLOATING PALACEIn the meantime, Dean was busy shooting poor Leanne in what felt like gale-force winds outside.

Fortunately, the weather was much nicer when we caught the Water Taxi over to beautiful Dunk Island. It was a great day and while we shot Emily, Janine, Kate and Siobhan, the others got busy with the watersport activities or just enjoying the welcome return of the sun.
