Top review. McLeod's has made an impact on my life, just listening to the quotes that are said etc, if Grace ever reads this , which i doubt. I hope they read this. Details Edit. Release date May 11, Australia. Southern Star Group. The small town of Gungellan was constantly frequented by the McLeod's characters. But while beloved to fans everywhere, the fictional town is sadly just that - fictional.

The real destination where the characters left their boot marks is the town of Freeling which borders Barossa. The townsfolk constantly frequented the truck stop. When the country folk wanted to grab some petrol for their cars or some essential supplies, the Gungellan Truck Stop was the place to go. You can actually go the hotel for a feed! It just goes by a different name. Everyone knows that the glue of every small town is the pub. In reality, Kingsford is only 55 hectares, making it more of a mini hobby farm heritage estate.

The stars had to share the screen with plenty of animals as the show was filmed on a working property. Despite being set in the country town of Gungellan, the home town of the McLeod family is completely fictitious.

The show was filmed in the town of Freeling in South Australia, which is about 60km north of Adelaide, and borders the state's famous Barossa Valley region.

All the live-in farm hands and animal wranglers of the Kingsford estate maintained the stock during filming. They also acted as stunt doubles, and taught the cast mustering, drenching, horse riding and sheep shearing.

The farm had working dogs, 15 horses, cattle and sheep, which were used during filming. The homestead also includes a machinery shed, shearing shed and stockyards. Lisa Chappell embarked on a musical career after leaving the show. Lisa Chappell, who played Claire McLeod during the show's first three seasons, left in because she "needed a change". At the time she said it was very hard being a character that was so different from herself but it was still a tough decision to leave.
