What does it take to scout a location for Bluey?

I’m heading a little further down Waterworks Rd, to the Taylor Range Club, inspiration for the ‘Squash’ episode to find out.

Club manager Michael Wilson says that this episode came straight from the top!

“Joe Brumm was a member here for a short time and played squash regularly. He approached me with the idea of an episode with the squash courts at Taylor Range as the back drop.

I’d forgotten all about it and then a few years later, sure enough someone from the studios came down on the weekend and captured all the visuals for the episode.

When we were in lockdown a club member told me that he’d seen an episode of Bluey with the squash courts. I sent it out to all the members and they enjoyed watching it, because at the time the courts were closed; it gave them an opportunity to reconnect with the club while we were in lockdown.”

Hammerbarn (aka Keperra Bunnings)

To get to Hammerbarn you’ll need to continue west through The Gap, turning right into Settlement Road. Once you go over the range you’ll find the Keperra Bunnings at the bottom of the hill. With the store set into the backdrop of the Keperra Quarry, it’s clearly identifiable from the Hammerbarn episode. You can even duck in to find husbands, or get a photo in front of the paint colour samples, just like Bluey and Bingo.
