Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie when the three kids are on the stage, in the first shot Jason Jones stands on the left side of the stage, Dylan in in the middle and the Kimi on the right side. But in the second shot, Jason stands on the right and the Kimi on the left. (00:21:20)
Other mistake: At the Australian championships the last contestant does not get given a chance to throw. They just announce the winners early.
Answer: It was filmed in Western Australia and I believe it is set there, as I am somewhat sceptical that "driving down to Sydney" in the Australian vernacular definitively means driving south (i.e. from northern New South Wales or Queensland).
