Mapped geography and published histories guide the film. Ordinary buildings, construction stages, early camps, people, traffic, river craft, event staging and flood timing are modelled. Modern bare-earth elevation represents every era; historical earthworks are not reconstructed in full. Sources and geography: Queensland Heritage Register: https://apps.des.qld.gov.au/heritage-...
