Trivia
Filming ranged across locations including Adelaide, Darwin, Jabiru, Kakadu National Park, Katherine, Nitmiluk National Park, and the Tiwi Islands. In all places, there was important liaison with the local Aboriginal communities, the producing team ensuring that approvals were granted to film and that due respect was paid to the original owners of the lands and the current residents of the communities.

Goofs
At the fuel pump, they show Trevor's 4wd being filled with diesel, when the call-outs visible on the vehicle indicate it is a '3500 v6,' the petrol/gas engine. Later in the film that same 'diesel' 4wd is put out of action when Ned puts petrol/gas in it.

Crazy credits
Subtitle immediately before closing credits: "Nearly finished. Keep ya kurrawas on ya seats..."

Well-made Aussie rom-com

'Top End Wedding' is from the director of 'The Sapphires' and also stars Tapsell, this time as Lauren, an up-&-coming lawyer from Adelaide. She gets engaged to Ned (Lee), which sets in motion a whirlwind trip to Darwin to try and pull together a wedding in 10 days before she's required back at work, thanks to her demanding boss Ms Hampton (Fox).

Back in Darwin, we meet Lauren's Dad, Trevor (Higginson) and the twist that her Mum, Daphne (Yovich), has left to find her roots. This "mystery" forces Lauren and Ned on a roadtrip to find her, and allows us to see the spectacular scenery in Kakadu and Katherine, as well as eventually, the Tiwi Islands. There's plenty of funny moments along the way and interesting characters.

As well as the great settings, there's also some emotional reunions for Lauren and Daphne with their people and country on the Tiwi Islands - it's all handled really well and is very touching. It's fantastic to see Aboriginal actors and Australian settings on film - I wish there was more. Overall, a lovely film in terms of story, music, characters and settings.
