The idyllic park in ‘Maryborough, Queensland’ where Helen plays with her adored father Travers Goff ( Colin Farrel) stands in the shadow of some towering palm trees.Īlthough Australia is home to some indigenous palms, these look suspiciously Californian and the image of those preposterously tall yet spindly trees springing up from a thick tangle of vegetation feels naggingly familiar.
