The 2003 novel has been published in 39 languages in 42 territories worldwide and has sold more than six million copies. The Australian government will provide$ 5 million for the production of the project through its Location Incentive program, with the Victorian government also supporting the series through Film Victoria’s Production Incentive Attraction Fund.
