Murray Bridge locals flocked to Old Tailem Town as volunteering extras in the filming of The Sundowner, a new period movie set in Australia’s rural past.
The call-out in early April was met with overwhelming enthusiasm, with dozens of volunteers donning vintage costumes to take part.
This comes less than a month after new owners Danny and Tina Squires officially took the reins at Old Tailem Town.

Adam Hurle of Meningie, who volunteered his time said it was a beautiful and interesting day - especially as a nice break from his normal activities.
“We’ve done one scene, the main characters were walking down the street, and we
were just filling the gaps, walking up and down dodging old motorcycles and trucks, it was so much fun," he said.
Organisers say there may be further opportunities for community involvement as filming continues, and before it's scheduled for release in late 2026.
